Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

[orb85750]

I respect what they're doing with this machine, but I won't be buying one because I don't have that type of discretionary income.  Who seriously plans to buy one soon after it's available?  Anyone here?

[KThunder]

no

[Gulliver]

I must say no.

[tone007]

Nope.

What's this currently clocking in at - $2500 or more? If so, F-no! I plan on purchasing at least a Dual Core 27" iMac and an iPad with my 'fun' money in the very near future. Had the X1000 been in the $1k-$1.5k arena, then I would have seriously considered putting the Mac off and going for it. I guess I'll just wait and purchase used when the time comes.

Only if it's totally compatible (without any emulators) C64/C128/A1200/A3000/A4000/CD32/PS1/PS2/PS3 :mickeymouse:
Seriously: yes with price below 800.00 EUR (approx.: $1000.00 USD).

Forget it.. Too expensive.

I am a potential customer. Today I own a SAM400EP Flex and love to use the machine for a lot of my computing needs. There are currently just two things that bug me about it:
  A) I can´t get the audio-In to work.
  B) It is too slow to play video recorded with a FLIP-camera.
I think even the first version of the X1000 will be able to do that and will run everything SAM runs today.

I am saving a little now and maybe in 2011, if I don´t have other important needs at the time, I might get one. I feel it is a far better investment for me than some iPhone/iPad or plasma-TVs or 5.1 audio-systems which some people are buying these days.

Unless the production unit costs a lot less than the beta board alone, I am going to have to say no. I am willing to buy a new pre-built computer to run AmigaOS but I can't justify $2500-$3000 for it. I haven't spent that much on the 3 modern computers in my house right now.

I certainly expect a mark up because the market is small and the hardware is custom. Unlike the markup on other niche platform vendors, that use all industry standard parts. However, it's simply too much for me to afford.

[stachu100]

No

[Dragster]

No, I'm happy with my Pegasos II running OS4.1u2. This toy is too expensive to be justified.

[jorkany]

Nope. For $99 you can get an XMOS dev kit and connect it to any computer you want - there goes the X1000's big "feature" right there.

[dougal]

They should just launch AmigaOS 4.1 on X86 hardware. So much much more cheaper.

[redrumloa]

No.

[spihunter]

No
