Also assuming the charge circuit is designed for that (usually all modern devices should be). Especially older devices often do not like to be used and charged at the same time, that can lead to swollen batteries which is a fire hazard.
Funny, I used a 2010 netbook like that until last year. Maybe that's not old in your book? But you're right about battery swelling being a risk; just set the battery to never charge past 80-90%, you'll be fine.
It just depends on the model. But yeh i would assume most devices since 2010 should be able to. Was more common back in the day.
