I think that it is a step in the right direction:
- They have successfully lower the price. $800 may seems high for USA buyers but the $ lost a lot of value in the last 4 years. It is about 650 E which is a good price for such a specific product.
The Pegasos is built in Europe and ATM it makes it more difficult to be exported to $ currency countries. On the other hand, assembling in the USA helps to reduce shipping costs for USA customers.
- The upgrade program allows you to keep your Peg1 G3.
If you sell your Peg 1 to another Amigan (let say 150 E with the RAM) it makes the cost of the upgrade at 150E (300 - 150) AND allows a new user to become a Pegasos owner for a very inexpensive price.
The negative point are the high fees with UPS. I hope that there is another way to handle it.
As for comparing to PCs and MACs. If the aim is to run Amiga (and Morphos) applications it is like comparing apple and oranges.
If the aim is to run Linux than the Mac Mini and Pegasos are not in the same category. Both have different pros and cons. Also a PC would be definitely cheaper.
