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.
I really dont know why people keep compairing this machine to an old amiga, the problem amiga had was Technology in the 90s and even then the Amiga was very expanable,so in short the amiga design worked this machines design does'nt. but as I said its personal taste and if you want one of these then go buy one. I'd rather have a nice looking A1200 or even a A600 over this machine any day. This machine has two memory stick as standard and it features a PCI slot(One 32-bit PCI expansion slot supports a single half-length (5.25"), low profile PCI card) which in itself is completely usless and outdated due to the newer pci express port. they could of atleast fitted a AGP slot to gain abit more speed rather than running at X2 and if memory servers me right then even the Amigaone has support for AGP ;-) and another thing with this machine is you have to choose weather you want to run a cd-rom or a pci card?
*Supports one optional slim type Optical Drive, CD-ROM, CDRW-DVD, or DVD+/-RW.
*Use of the optical drive will eliminate the ability to install a PCI card.
So before you even buy this machine you need to expand it with an external cd-rom unless you happy enough by using the onboard graphic's. wonder if the people behind this machine will try and sell us an atari 2800 as the next gaming machine :lol:
well i guess thats my 2 pennys
