Open source PPC laptop bounty

If you want to run AOS4, then you would be better served by getting a cheap pc laptop and running the latest WinUAE. That is perfect for emulting a PPC Amiga, and excitingly/upsetingly (depending upon your position), it runs faster than my actual BlizzPPC.

From what you say, it is clear that you never used a computer running AOS4.1  natively. I am using both extensively and, even if I appreciate the possibility to run (but not to enjoy) AOS4.1 on WinUAE on my laptop, I would NEVER put the two options on the same level from the user experience point-of-view.
The biggest difference is made by 2D compositing, 3D OpenGL ES, and Warp3D Nova (and old Warp3D is coming too), all hardware accelerated by out-of-the-shelf modern Radeon GPUs, a quantum leap forward in the right direction.

It's only a matter of time before UAE pass through drivers are made for those things

Really looking forward to it!

However, I must admit I don't see it coming anytime soon, at least what, 5 to 10 years? Will it have the same performance as a native solution? I very much doubt it.

Personally, I am sick of waiting, and by supporting this PPC notebook project is the only thing I can do to (finger crossed) obtain a notebook that can give me the same user experience I have when I use my AOS4.1 machine, with all the doubts that comes with it (e.g. will it be AOS4.1 be ported to it, well, most probably yes).
