With all the other alternatives you got to invest 800-1000 €
to even look at it and see if you like it.

Condsidering most people have some kind of wintel box at home at home nowdays, the cost for you is the price of a DVD or CD.

You decide whats worth it for you.

If you have XP installed, you could always dowload
Vmware player, and the VE version of vmwaros.
That way you can very easily have a look.

There is no secret AROS can be problematic to boot on certain
hardware I've dealt with a few myself. We can only hope for
more devs and more drivers in the future.

But if you really (after looking at AROS in the VMWare virtual
environment) want to build your own working machine you could
look at the Aros Wiki in search of which hardware currently
gives the best results.

@Persia

I don't know the recommended minimum, but I had an PIII 733 Mhz, 256 MB lying around. I put an old NVidia card in it and AROS boots easily on that one, under 40 sec, and warm reboot about 10 sec. The OS runs ok, no slowdowns with opening closing applications or windows etc.

I not that privileged that I could have tried out that browser
yet but I don't expect it to be sluggish at all on that hardware.
