It doesn't do very much for me, though I can see why it would have some attraction where expandability is not a requirement.

To be honest, it covers the same sort of market as the iMac.I suppose it reminds many of us of the A1200, A500 and even the C64, but it wouldn't be what I'd want these days.

LOL has there even been a windows machine that does'nt require expansion as standard :-?

I don't think we're in a position to comment, really. Selling underpowered and underspecced machines was Commodore standard marketing policy, as was making it as expensive as possible to exapnd those machines.

@bhoggett  underspecced?? I don't think so, most Amigas were high spec machines at the time they came out.

A1200, A600, A1500, even the A4000? High spec? I don't think so. They could - and most commentators agreed they should have been released with better specs as standard, but the suits at Commodore thought differently and the rest is history.
