I want to have a desktop computer with a bigger screen.

Money isn't so much the issue, I just don't want to waste my laptop. I like the laptop and I'll be keeping it. I want a bigger screen and adjust for ergo though. I was wondering which route you would take?

1. Keep laptop, dock it into a 27" monitor via HDMI and hookup keyboard + mouse.
2. Keep laptop, build a desktop and have two computers, desktop w/ 27" screen.
3. Keep laptop, build a dual monitor desktop.

I've used dual monitors before and liked it but not sure how necessary it is these days with how easy it is to setup the screen on windows 7.

Laptop Specs:
- i7
- 8gb ram
- SSD hard drive

Worst fear would be the video card not adapting to the external monitor to its potential.

Thoughts?
