the pros and cons of A1 versus PC

@Marky_D_Sahd

I really like AOS but there is no way i will buy an AmigaONE board when the price for one is just stupid,

The price is not even realistic, over 500 quid is just not acceptable imo for a motherboard and chip in 2003 and i just can not see myself spending that kind of money on just a board.

If you really want to use OS4 then you are forced in a corner with either buying expensive hardware or go elsewhere, it is really simple at that.

Why are you mentioning software? A1 vs PC has nothing to do with software, a x86 board offers more than a A1 period and at a fraction of the price, if OS4 could be run on other boards (PPC ones) and they was cheaper i doubt anyone would touch a A1 with a bargepole.

Catch 22.

This is supposed to be Amigas great comeback but there is no chance when the hardware is still so expensive as if it was the late 80s/early 90s.

Gold plated solder on the board  :lol:

No, no! You were all supposed to talk me INTO buying the AOne!

I doubt someone can without saying "Its runs OS4 when it comes out"

Hardware wise the A1 is pathetic when it comes to comparing it with other hardware so i  only see OS4 as a reason to get one.
