If the Z-100 had a detached keyboard, I would not hesitate to recommend it against any other PCoid machine. Re: reliability: ours is over a year old and not one thing has ever gone wrong--except for the stupid door latch on the Tandon 5-1/4" floppy. This took some real pains to fix (though W&A, my company, now sells spares because of this) since Zenith doesn't stock the stupid things. The stupids at Tandon take 4 weeks to process spares orders, and though we're no more than 15 miles from their factory, they wouldn't let us will-call! As for the Z-100, though, it's worked juuust fine.
