When it comes down to it, it's like this:

Are you willing to pay the extra to run AmigaOS4 and all that that entails?
If so, get the AmigaOne, if not, get a PC.

The PC is cheaper and better supported.   You can run pretty much any OS on the PC that you can run on the AmigaOne, with the exception of AmigaOS4.

Also, to use GNU/Linux as an example of an OS that runs on both, the x86 version has FAR more support than the PPC version and you'll be doing it all with cheaper and better supported hardware.


All that in mind however, I'd rather have the AmigaOne than a PC anyday - simply because OS4 will be my OS of choice when it's released.
I'm keeping my PCs of course, but one of them is being relegated to the cupboard soon and the other one is being stripped of most of it's good hardware to go into the AmigaOne.
