Re: What was the Best and "not so good" Amiga Models?

I personally like the Amiga 2000 Series of computers.  The Amiga 2000 is the highest quality of all the Amiga models.  It is such a nice computer that it is concidered by many to be the Flagship Amiga, because of its durability and expandability.  After the Amiga 2000 was released, Commodore had decided to cut the cost of production by lowering the quality of all Amigas, starting with the Amiga 3000.  The lowest quality and the worst of the Amiga models are the following:  Amiga 500, 500+, 600, and the 1200, but for some reason most Europeans like these low quality Amigas.  In fact, the Amiga 500 and 1200 are the most popular Amiga computers in Europe.  Even though my favorite Amiga is the Amiga 2000 Series, I have a great respect and love for the legendary Amiga 1000, the Amiga that started it all.     :-D

The A500 is not a 'low quality' computer. It is very well manufactured, and likely to last you a long time.


Tell that to the cheap plastic case and the stripped out screw holes in the plastic stand-offs.  Also, tell that to the low quality Amiga 500 keyboard.  Just compare an Amiga 2000 keyboard to an Amiga 500 keyboard, you will readily see the difference in quality.  The Amiga 2000 keyboard has Cherry switches from Italy and the characters are printed on top of the keys.  The Amiga 500 keyboard has low quality Chicklet (rubber) key switches and the characters on top of the keys are decals.     :-o

You are right about that, buddy.  Oh by the way, quality does cost more, so if a person wants high quality then they should be prepared to pay more money for it.  There is no such thing as low-cost high quality.     :-D

The later released Amiga 2000 computers came with the lower quality Amiga 500 keyboards.     :-o
