Judging by their forums, still having heat issues and non working keyboards, lol.  Lots of people have had to add fans to the 64 just to keep the wifi chips cool enough to work, or use a laptop cooling pad.

"I found the cause, the USB connector is not plugged.
I'm a little bit disapointed with this first impress... with custom tax, i pay near 800€ for this !   "

That Quadro card is not a $6000 card.  $3000 on a good day.  For $1000, the case better be phase change cooled.

Just when you think you've seen the worst, the gongshow starts up again, lol.  No one in the market they are targeting cares one iota about the "Amiga" name.

The big boutique names are only still in existence cause many of them got taken over by bigger brands like Dell and HP (Alienware and Voodoo).  HP getting out of the consumer market as we speak, and Dell re-purposed Alienware quite a bit.

What exactly is "Amiga" about these new Amigas?  I thought the idea was along the lines of the C64x, a vintage looking case at a relatively sane price that would come with UAE.

Talk about an accident waiting to happen, lol.
