If I want an "Amiga" laptop, I have two choices already:

1. a powerful yet cheap i5/i7 one, with WinUAE running AmigaOS 4.1
2. my current Icaros Desktop 2 powered, Atom based netbook (AspireOne A150)

both would provide me enough grunt for my tasks. And If need more... I can always buy a faster x86-64 notebook.

I try to be respectful of everyone's positions, but sorry to say IMHO spending $2500 euros for a low performance PPC machine (400-800 MHz), when a half-the-price Core-based x86 laptop, perfectly able to emulate PPC through WinUAE and run AmigaOS 4.1 at similar/better speed, would be plain madness.
