Buying SAM 460 to replace my PC

[Thorham]

If all you do on your pc is browse the web, check your mail and play videos and movies, then why bother at all? I don't see how you can get any malware by just doing these things. I'd keep my money in my pocket if I were you, especially because I can't imagine a SAM being better for video playing than a pc that costs the same.

I can't understand why people from this community tries to talk people away from buyiny a NG Amiga??? If you are a genuine Amiga user you would want to get more people away from the PC!

I'm an Amiga user, but not an 'NG Amiga' user. Someone has a pc which probably works perfectly well for it's intended use, and then they want to down grade to a SAM? Yes, I have to advice against that. They'd end up with a less capable browser and less video playing performance (as far as I know). For the price of a SAM you can probably get a pc that has full hd playback capability.

I'm not going to advise people to get less for more.

But he's not considering buying another PC, he's considering buying a SAM.

I know that, which is why I advised him to keep his money in his pocket in my first post.

I myself use a SAM as my sole Amiga lately.

SAMs are not Amigas, when will people understand this? Probably never :lol:

Purists are always going to throw that term "emulation" around, but emulation runs circles around "real" its time to get over it.

I don't think purists even care about that at all
