1. The main problem with all in one is if one part breaks you have to fix/replace it all

I'd be careful to find one with a strong history of reliability and a good warranty, Amazon reviews can be a good source of information.

If you upgrade a piece at a time it's easier on the budget, you could try plugging a keyboard, a mouse and big monitor into your current laptop and sticking it under the desk somewhere even. Shop around and you could do that for $200 to $300 for a 24" 1080p wide screen and a near top of the line keyboard/mouse.

Then just upgrade the laptop to a compact box computer, takes about five minutes tops to change the plugs around.
