Couldn't go with just three... lol

1) 2-button mouse (the original Amiga mouse is still my favorite)

2) DMA for the already fast SCSI

3) Kickstart in WCS or promoted to 32-bit via MMU and protected

4) Amiga RGB monitors having amplified speakers built in (especially stereo) and composite video input

5) classy case designs (especially A1000 & A3000)

6) "plug and play" architecture for the most part (until you start asking a lot out of your machine anyway)

7) Keyboard garage of A1000  :)

8) Innovative software from both Commodore and 3rd parties

9) Hardware and software support for the emulation of several other platforms

10) AmigaOS!   any flavor, take your pic  :)

I've known a lot of Mac's and PC's that do NOT shut down after they're done doing 'whatever' with themselves for all those seconds or minutes. lol  In fact, my iMac has a bug wherein, *sometimes* if I leave an SD Card in my card reader, the machine will act as if it is going to turn itself off, but never does. Just sits there with the background up (all icons gone though). Can't tell you how many times that's happened after I've gone to bed, only to find in the next room over I can still hear and see the computer!!  :(
