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.

No.

Not that they'll be making them anyway!




To elaborate on my previous post, if I had the money I would buy one, but alas...

Nope.  Too expensive and underpowered.

A great big resounding NO.
 
Its interesting that so many people here, who should be their core market, are all saying no way to purchase this thing.
 
With so many big amiga fans here saying no, looks like that thing is doomed before its even available.
 
I can get a mac g4 and run morphos for much less, and also build a custom aros machine, I'd still have money left to buy a new windows pc
and a new netbook.
 
Gee, I wonder why no one will buy this thing?

Not a chance in this world!

Maybe AROS will be released for a new x86 based Commodore Amiga in the future? Perhaps I would consider that if the price is right, but that's probably how close I will come to new Amiga branded products as it seems today. The prices that the other "Amiga" parties are asking for Amiga branded products are nothing short of insane, and especially so considering what you actually get for your money.
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Well, there is at least one 'yes' here and a number of 'maybe' answers.  Perhaps a few percent of A.org users will purchase and it will be a good start for the X1000.  I do wish them the best, but I also wish there were a really cheap PPC solution for running OS4!

Again, no.

Too pricey.
Already running MorphOS, Linux and Windows.

And Amiga is just a name.
Unless you're counting old hardware (and then I'd rather have a C65).

While I appreciate the efforts and money the people behind the X1000 have invested, and wish them well (hopefully they dont lose money on it), I just cant fathom spending that sort of money on a machine that gives me nothing practical over my 2 year old core2duo AROS machine(@3.86ghz) (which cost me about 1/4 of the price even back then). Even performance wise the single core that is currently active in my AROS box would most likely outperform a PA6T with both cores active, not to mention the vastly superior (also ageing) graphics card in my AROS box (gf9600GT)..... while all 3 "NG" systems (mos/aros/os4) have advantages over each other, the practical benefits to the end user are minimal at best,.... it's the experience Im after, not the name and as such I just cant bring myself to spend that sort of money on hardware that offers me nothing (and is in fact inferior) over what can be bought now for about 1/6th of the price.

Now that the diplomacy is out of the way:
What, are you kidding me ? No freaking way  :P
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Nope, way too much for my limited 'hobby fund'.

About the only thing I might be buying in the near future is the FPGA Arcade which will be much more affordable.

I just upgraded my old PC to a cute little ASUS Nvidia ION MiniITX-PC which cost me about $800 (AU) and couldn't justify spending any more than that on a 'home computer' no matter what badge it had on the front.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
