Amiga September Executive Update

[Kay]

I don't think those laptops would undermine the sales of the AmigaOne. People want laptops and desktops for different purposes, and since there is no real Amiga laptop coming in the foreseeable future, selling these PC's with an emulator pre-installed makes sense as a laptop complement to the Amiga platform.

Yeah, I know. But I still don't think these new laptops will undermine the sales of
the AmigaOne. PC's with Amiga emulators already exist, and already compete with the new
real Amigas. I don't think these laptops add any significant competition besides what's
already there.

I agree that it's kind of backwards that the laptops will be faster than the desktops. But
keep in mind that this only is true for 68k software. I'm guessing most new stuff will be PPC,
and thus will not run on these laptops at all. In that respect, the AmigaOne offers something
the laptops don't.
