I was a yes, but am still a maybe.

Those worried about the cost, why worry?  You'll probably get your money back in 20 years anyway from the collectors! :P  You'll get buttons for your x86 stuff.

Hell no!  It makes SAMs look cheap by comparison.  Makes EFIKA-MX netbook price look like pocket change.

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

^^^^ This

My answer: Nope

Have to wait and see just what it can do first, if it ever appears... :)

So far and easily, a majority of us are quickly saying no way. It'll be nice to keep track of who actually plans on purchasing and then see what they think.

Possibly... but first it'd have to be less than £1000 ($1900 USD) and secondly it'd need a more modern spec with a lot of support, i.e. at least Core i3 comparable performance, 4GB minimum, good launch software. Basically A4000'030 launch price.

I'd also want to see a TV advert to know they are serious and to make sure my X1000 would have resale value as a collectors item should the worst happen (Commodore curse and all).

As it stands, no at the moment.

Many of us old timers have no desire to buy pre-built anythings, much less a pre-built, overpriced Amiga in trim many people don't like to start with.  They need to offer mobo's for me to even look at them, even if they were far cheaper.

Would a video on YouTube be serious enough? Because that's about the extent of it.

Nope...

I don't even want to buy a Sam because they're too expensive, the Sam looks cheap compared to the x1000.

/edit
Besides, I see no point in spending money on an OS which has a software library that exist mainly of (quick & dirty) Linux ports. I can run these programs better/faster on my main system; a 7 year old x86 box running Debian Sid. BTW the same goes for MorphOS which I've used for nearly 7 years.

Oh dear its not looking good for x1000 already . I would love to but like the rest it looks way to over priced unless something big happens on launch like os5 comes out with new workbench gui and lots of addon supported like printers ect.

sam460 is looking more like what I will end up with

I'll have to say no for now, I just don't have the money. I'm more likely to buy a Natami and a SAM to be honest but even that will have to wait until 2011.
