At first glance, the iBuyPower Z92T looks like a good deal: $1,563 for a Media Center laptop with a midrange dual-core AMD CPU, discrete Nvidia graphics, and a fast 100GB hard drive. With these components the Z92T posted decent scores on our performance benchmarks, but it trailed similar systems based on the Intel Core 2 Duo platform. We'd be willing to overlook the performance lags if they resulted in a lower price, but you can get the Core 2 Duo-based Polywell PolyNote V512NC, which bested the Z92T on nearly all of our performance benchmarks and posted a longer battery life, for $80 less.
