They didn't rip off the X1000 name. It follows the same naming standard as the C64X.
I don't like the aluminium look & they'd have been better off making a 500X.
I agree, that just looks like too much metal. Apple is somehow able to pull this off gracefully, not so much other manufacturers.
I think it would have been better to faithfully reproduce the A1000 case and keyboard. Then they could have offered just the case/keyboard combo. That way retro enthusiasts would have something to tinker with, and anyone who wanted a genuine CUSA full blown computer could buy an entire system.
