In a previous post in the gaming forum I made a comment about the the Amiga hardware being underspecced and overpriced. Oddly for this site, there was no argument against this comment. Do the rest of you feel this way?


Absolutely!

The reasons for this are twofold:

1) The AmigaOne has been in development for a long period, thus the orginal specs are obsolete.

2) The factor of including APG 8x etc would push up both the retail and development costs.

Furthermore, when measured against our existing hardware, even the AmigaOne/Pegasos etc present a huge leap forward in terms for performance.  However, it does leave me feeling a little short changed when I see the stuff shipping on a £100 PC motherboard these days.....  Even without the performance draining OS, the AmigaOne/Pegasos will struggle to be competitive in raw performance terms.  I suppose this makes the Pegasos 2 a compelling arguement.
