I am not sure whether to believe they are simply going through "growing pains" or they are covering up for very poor business practices.
In either case, I've spent a little more time looking over the 2 Amiga models that I was interested in (Mio and Mini).
With the Mio, they didnt even try to customize it or change it.
It's basically a Zotac ID70Plus that has 2 plastic stickers attached to the front and a C= logo replacing the Zotac logo on the top. See here:

The Amiga Mini is even much worse. This time around, they only sell it as a BASE configuration which shows up as CASE & FAN for $295USD?
This is just a Wesena ITX2 with Amiga engraved on the front which can be bought for a whopping $67USD!!!
They removed the fully configured spec. My guess is that the Pico PSU combined with the Quad core i7 was causing alot of heat issues and power stability issues so they scrapped it.

I think they are tarnishing what was once a great Iconic name in the computer industry with silly antics like this.
The only thing I can see that they have done so far is create a custom Linux theme, include some free software that allows you to run Amiga classic applications in UAE and made some new stickers.
I'm all for captilalism, but, at least give it a new name and dont put AMIGA on the darn things.
That's my $0.02 .
