AmigaONE X1000 Free Shipping Offer

[amigakit]

The RadeonHD v1.0 driver has today been released for FREE for all AmigaONE X1000 users.

Take Dpaint or Ppaint, this are arguably the best paint programs for AmigaOS, but they do not support 32bit and does not support a lot features not compared to modern paint programs.

Don't forget Brilliance 2 Anyway, those paint programs are aimed at indexed pixel art in up to 256 colors. The kind of features you want for true color graphics fall outside of the scope of this software.

Is there really any 'new' X1000 customers left?

Surely those who adore and admire the system would have purchased this item when it was first released. I guess buy one get one half price would entice many, but that's the manufacturer call not the retailer. Just curious (as I don't follow these things) has the price of the X1000 dropped considering how long it has been out -- it's a bit dated by now?

Nope, thanks to an increase in CPU prices, the cost of production has actually gone up.

If they lowered the price, then they'd probably loose money.

Well..that begs the question.. Why manufaure the kit at all?

They manufacture the kit so I can have a new Miggy. After all, my Amiga 4000 is rather long in the tooth by now and not so speedy. Thanks, AmigaKit, A-Eon, etc., for making my Miggy (I actually just call it my Amiga, but don't want to start an upheaval here!) possible. It has been a lot of fun and worth every penny to me.

+1 Mike! very proud to have my X1000 sitting right next to my original Amiga 1000 in my man cave so cheers to A-Eon & Amigakit for making it a reality:knuddel: love seeing all the updates come along and today i see Hans released the new HdRadeon driver v1.0:drink:

Happy X1000 owner here. Certainly the best Amiga I have ever had.
It's the end of the financial year fellas! What else you gonna spend that tax rebate on ;-)

[Duce]

Wish A-EON would make a mid range offering.  Was looking into a X1000 recently and realized I could buy a Titan Z for cheaper.

The x1000 is the best "amiga" for you? really? you never had a real amiga?... if the answer is yes, the amiga "community" is really dead.

@kickstart

DDNI has had many Amiga systems over the years and made quite a few YouTube videos about his experiences. I recall the videos he made demonstrating his heavily upgraded A1200T in recent years.  So I think he is fully aware of the pros and cons of owning Amiga computers and is well qualified to decide whether his X1000 system is the best system he has owned so far.

Kickstart you make it sound like AOS4.1 is in the same league with AROS and MorphOS but in a very expensive hardware.

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

What a bunch of sloppy negativity on this thread.  Typical.  I loved the X1000 when I got to use one, just don't have time or space right now.  AmigaKit, good luck with your sale, and thanks for all your hard work to support this bunch of whiners.  :roflmao:

Maybe Im missing the point of your post, but do you have to either love or hate NG/Classic hardware?

Plus, preceptions/taste varies from person to person.

Just cause someone at the moment enjoys X1000/NG/insert any variation more than "classic", doesnt invalidate a community.
My personal taste; I really dislike Apple OS/IOS (exposed to it thru work), while many that I know prefer it.
My personal taste doesnt invalidate other peoples expirience or the value it brings to them.

I would say the same should apply to "amiga community", atleast I can hope.

Never understood why people have to be either NG or Classic.

[ddniUK]

Kickstart, I normally ignore ill informed posts, but as this one is directed at me, I will list my Amiga heritage.

First Amiga in 1986, constant use of Amiga until 1997. 6 year gap. Missed the red blue wars. Returned in 2006.

A500 x4 with various accelerators and WB setups
A600 with 030 and ClassicWB
A1200 x3 with 030 accelerators
A1200 Mediator BPPC @ 330mhz 060 @ 70mhz OS3.9 - Sold
A1200 BPPC @240 060 @50 BVision OS 3.9 - Sold
AmigaOne X1000 OS4.1 update 6

Does this qualify me to hold an opinion on the X1000 that I use everyday? Or perhaps I should be doing what many others do, read spurious forum posts and form an opinion having never even seen a real X1000?

The mid-range AmigaNG is made by Acube; by all accounts and rumors, new production begins in May.
