Which is the best Amiga and why?

[sim085]

Hi,

I was wondering (in the future) whether to buy a new Amiga. However I do not know which is the best Amiga to buy and worst of all I do not know what I could actually do with such an Amiga. I mean is it possible to do most of the things I already do with a PC? Or today Amiga's are used for some particular area where PC is still not that good at?

At amigakit.com they seem to still sell the A1200. Is this because this is the best Amiga out there? As much as I know the A1200 is not a PPC and the only Amiga PPC other there is the AmigaOne!

Regards,

As some of you may already know I already have an A500+ and I have been upgrading these last few days. I do not have any use for it but I like the idea to have it maxed out

However during my Amiga learning curve I noticed that only the A1200 is still sold as 'new old stock' which I understand it means and 'not already used'. This made me think that there is some type of big market for this machine and that buying one would actually be useful for something.

Said that it seems that the A500+ could be upgraded to actually match the A1200. Although I do not think that the A500+ could take an AGA card!

Thanks to everyone for the replies

I think I will stick with A500+ for the moment and see what I can do with this machine. I am sure that once I receive all the parts I ordered I will get new ideas on what can be done with it

I was very tempted of buying A1200 because it is still for sale and seems to be easy to upgrade. However as said I have no use for it so for the moment I'll give it a pass!

Thanks

I read the Natami specifications a little and I have a single question;

Doesn't the Natami risk to be out of date from day one?

Or the new Natami will be so advanced that it could possibly replace today's pc?
