Amiga 1300[What ifs]

[NovaCoder]

Reading a bit through the wonderful Amiga History webpage and found this...



Ok, A1300 never been confirmed to existed so it's just a hypothetical, but is it just me or this sounds awfully underpowered for the time? Or maybe it was their intention to sell it as a (very)cheap PC alternative? How did the A1200 compare to a cheap 286/386 system pricewise?

Commodore UK were always way ahead of the rest of the company so yes, I can believe they had something like the 1300 on the cards.   Of course it still would have struggled to compete against the emerging PC but those specs are at least close to what the 1200 *should* have been in 1992.

AT never came up with a good idea, Walker=dated and the green A4000T case design proposal made me throw up a little. Add £399 A1200 14mhz relaunch and no wonder they sank fast.

Hey I'd never seen the A4000T concept designs before (just looked them up), mind you I only started getting in this Amiga business a couple of years back so I missed a lot of 'history'

I actually like the design, much better than how the 4000T turned out, reminds me of a Mac (runs and hides).
