I think what makes an Amiga is the whole package. What do i mean?

Well, the SAM440 is just a motherboard. You have to use your own case, keyboard, graphics card, power supply etc..

A real Amiga, from the A1000 up untill the A4000T always came as a complete package. They came with Amiga/Commodore branded keyboards and cases, mice, manuals, software, cables etc.. etc.. You bought your complete system and set it up, just as you would buy an Apple iMac or a Dell PC.

Looking at the mouse and keyboard of the X1000, i'm disgusted. The mouse is so obviously a Logitech mouse with a badly designed sticker over the Logitech one. I can also say the same for the keyboard and the Windows keys with cheap boing ball stickers over them.

I know that these days it makes no sense to have propriety keyboard/mouse ports and all, but for f**ks sake, they could have got their stuff branded properly.

In my opinion, the last REAL Amiga was the A4000T and A1200. The X1000 has potential but they need to put in that extra effort.
