Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

Why do all futuristic renderings of Amiga's look like all in one PCs? That form factor is not really that popular with PC users.

The most popular PC IS an all in one form factor. It's called a laptop . The first Natami will be a small motherboard for a tower. The low power consumption and all in one capabilities would make it a great candidate for a laptop though. It's just that laptops cost a lot of money to make. There had been talk on the Natami forum about retrofitting to a cheap existing laptop but that would be later of course. Some Amiga users do love this Amiga 1200 form factor though.

Off topic here, but that's the current Natami board? It's tiny!

Yes, and the production board will not have the 68060 but an fpga cpu.

I don't think PPC systems and the Natami really compete with one another. I love to have a new 68K system, but its not going to be my main computer.

The Natami should be competitive with the low end PPC in the SAM. The clock speed is about 1/3 but CISC does more with less while having similar memory bandwidth and more helper processors with no slow buss to go through. I think the code will be more efficient too. The high end PPC (except IBM Power processors) is not getting faster very fast at all. On the other hand, fpgas are getting cheap fast allowing the performance to grow. It's price to performance ratio that will likely win the battle in the end. The x1000 sounds like the nicest most powerful PPC system yet but I think the price to performance is too far off to be successful.
