I was under the impression that EU would have enforced minimum 2 year warranty period, but it seems not everyone is playing by the book:
Two-year warranty (EU law)
Specifically I find this relevant since it has been confirmed that AmigaONE X1000 warranty period is 1 year.
Is there some sort of mix up here, or is Amigakit or A-Eon going to ignore the EU directive 1999/44/EC?
I think the *real* question people should ask, is, whether teeny-weeny upstart of a company that obviously relied on pre-payments in the shape of a "beta testing program" for its R&D and early production, would really have the financial means to actually honor a warranty program, should it be some major flaws in the design? Promising is free, actually delivering is not.
Some people cling to the mantra "I won't buy second hand, I will buy new, because then I have a warranty". The funny thing about them is that most of them are the very same people who bought into the *previous* "Amigaone", the one from Eyetech. Not a single flawless Amigaone exists, no matter the model, they are *all* broken by design. And how did Eyetech handle this? Well, the only way they could - They lied and said "there are no problems" (much with the help of AW.net moderation policies of that time) and then they simply left the scene! "Warranty" my a$$!
Some never learn...
