What does a CommodoreUSA Amiga offer that a PC made from the exact same parts doesn't, apart from the name, and a doubled price-tag?

You could ask the same of Alienware and several other "name" branded computers..

I'd be more interested in why they feel "Amiga" should be applied to their new line...
Something like:

The C64x, although it was nothing like a C64 internally, resembled the original C64.

The Vic Slim looked nothing like the Vic-20.  IMHO
The new Amiga "slim" looks more like a Mac-mini than any Amiga model produced...

Why do you feel it appropriate to use the Amiga (or Vic) name on these machines?
