Today the X1000 is a little better spec'ed than a netbook, there's no software available that I can't run faster or better on a Mac or PC. Price/Performance wise they make Apple Store look like Tescos... Nothing is state of the art, the world is talking eSata and USB 3.0, AmigaOS hasn't even nailed down USB 2.0 yet. XMOS? For USD 100 I can stick a USB board in a PC and have all the tools to actually make it work available to me. The X1000 does not in any way, shape or form represent the spirit of the original Amiga.
To be fair, the A1X1K is not an "Amiga", it is apart of the "AmigaOne" series. So yes it's in the same spirit of the systems that Eyetech sold, hopefully with superior quality and parts. What we consider the "Amiga Spirit" is best left to legends of our history and culture that we all share.
What drew me to the Amiga was it's gfx capabilities and it was cheap. Not having Windows issues was a major perk and a half. Today, hardware has to be cheap to nearly free and the software has to do what I want to do. I don't think I'm alone either my requirements either.
