For your system to be as comfortable to use as PC/laptop you would need to connect keyboard + mouse.
So yes it is more hassle, plus lets say you are in the living room you won't be leaving keyboard/mouse on the table, you would have to take it out from a drawer or something.

Now in PC instance you would just switch a button.

For small apartments - laptop instead of PC.

And speaking about saving few hundreds - come on.. People who has smartphones, bluetooth TVs and stuff like that do not have any issue spending 400 on a computer. In
fact I do not imagine any person who has any issue buying a computer or laptop. And I live in a country with maybe 2 times lower GDP per capita than US.
So not sure if anybody doing your setup would think of "saving money".
