What is the best Amiga in your Opinion?

[lassie]

Amiga 1000, the only Amiga that was the best desktop computer, AND best looking, in the world on the day it was launched. Downhill all the way from A500 really.

A1200 once reduced to £299 was a good machine too, not at £399 without SIMM slots for fast ram though. 2.5" IDE was a classic cockup.

Rest were either ugly, overpriced, cheaply made or had zero improvements over A1000 OCS worth nothing.

The A4000/030 was a special dead turkey, all people wanted was a 28mhz 020 (same speed) with 2+2 memory in an Amiga 1000/3000 style slim case (for use of cheap 3.5 IDE drives) which Commodore could have produced for half the cost of A4000/030. Commodore gave us a 486 priced Amiga with 286 performance....nice!

A4000/040 was at least justifiable in 1991 on spec/price. Not in 92-94 though.

I have a Commodore 128D, i think it looks a lot like the Amiga 1000 in style

I have a small collection, mostly 500's and 1200's, a few 600's, 2000's, 3000's, and a 4000D. Also a fair number of Zorro cards and accelerators. One of the 1200's sees the most use these days for the odd game or demo. The others haven't been turned on in quite a while, mainly for lack of time. I wouldn't mind a 4000T someday, but probably won't seek one out unless I suddenly find myself with an abundance of time and money. :-)

I also have an Amiga 600, it is quite a cute little Amiga i think

Yes it sure went fast in the beginning of the 90`s PC were getting bigger and faster very fast, just think of Wolfenstein in 1992 and Doom in 1993, it easy to see why Amiga could not compete with other machines. my Amiga 4000/030 with 18 mb ram can not run Doom very well.

I kinda like the A600 even though it's crap. Dunno why.

mayby it is because it is so small its kinda a cool Amiga

[lassie]

OHH! That A4000T looks really good! Nice color on it!

Do you know what those blue lights are with numbers?

[lassie]

Fan and temp controller, can't see exactly wich one but could be one of aeroCool's controllers, but hard to tell on the pic.

But it sure could be nice to have this Amiga 4000T

[lassie]

you are missing the point in that Digiman noted it was the best home computer the day it was launched and it was 'THE Amiga" before Commodore tainted it.  Of course future Amiga's had more expandability etc. BUT no one can deny the impact the A1000 had on the entire computer industry and not just the Amiga per say.

My vote is for the almighty Amiga 1000 as not only was it the best looking desktop IMHO but it led the way where all other future Amiga models only followed unfortunately.

Hi have any of you noticed that Commodore 128D looks a lot like Amiga 1000. i have a 128D but no Amiga 1000 :-( but from the pictures i have seen they look a lot like each other
