Also, morphos being "Amiga Like" is up to your personal point of view.I have seen some comments that have disagreed with this analogy.
Morphos is also not what I would consider a "commercial ready" OS, it is more in a beta stage, yet that is better to some points of view than no OS available at all to this point in time.
Contrary to what has been stated before, this site seems more wiegted towards the pegasos than the AmigaOne, if this is due to pegaos promotors being more vocal on not is really a non issue, whilst Amigaworld.net seems more wieghted towards AmigaOne and the "official" solution.
You are simply nt going to get away from the inherent polictics either way so the only unbiased option is to visit both sites to get a more balanced perspective.

To sum up my personal opinion is that the hardware is of very similar specifacations so the real considerations are cost, with pegasos being the cheaper, and the OS with pegasos having Morphos available, but not entirely complete, and the AmigaOne the only system at this time that will have OS4 available.

Unless you need a system in the very near future my advice is to simply wait until both options have the operating system available and have matured a bit more. At this stage everything is purely speculation as to which system will be "better" in the long run.

@-D-

You know exactly what was meant, stop confusing the issue.

The AmigaOne is the Official Amiga solution while the Pegasos is a competator to that solution.

There, happy now?

As for the AMigaOne being a modified teron...who cares? what real difference does it make?

Many companies use boards and other components designed and manufactured by others, does this then make that particular system less thier product?
No.
This is a common practise throughout many industries.

Does the fact that the pegasos uses radeon graphics cards, IMB or motorola cpus, hyundai ram, western digitaL hard drives, LG monitors, genius mice, and creative soundcards(for example) make it any less a pegasos system?

What makes a "brand" is little more than  the company that sticks the label on the machine.
