X5000 pre-orders

[Lurch]

So pricing starts from £1699 = $4000 NZD. LOL Hopefully people will start ditching their X1000s for cheap, but knowing Amigaland prolly not.

Nevermind, another machine that will sell in small numbers. Only good thing is new hardware, but yet again behind the spec curve.

Go specific PC hardware instead, lock the BIOS for AmigaOS and suddenly superfast cheap hardware appears.

+4GB DDR3 1600MHz +500GB 3.5" HDD - $2850

Now that sounds more interesting, and a good price too!

As far as I know, Morphos will move on to a more accessible platform, most probably x86.

If MorphOS does that it will be a game changer, long time coming though. I can finally ditch my crappy old Mac and build a nice PC instead. Fantastic.
