Before we found out that Dell was giving its customers the brush-off, we would have said that the $4,500 WinBook PowerSpec 9800, despite its great benchmark scores, wasn't nearly as attractive a system or a deal as the Dell XPS 700. Since Dell isn't shipping a comparable XPS 700 until at least October, however, this Intel Core 2 Extreme-based WinBook PC suddenly takes on a brighter outlook. We still think you should wait until ATI and Nvidia release their next-gen graphics cards later in the fall before investing in a high-end gaming PC, but if you're in the market for an overclocked, high-performance system right now, the WinBook PowerSpec 9800 offers strong bang for your buck.
