What you voluntarily try not to understand is that you can't run AmigaOS4 on the macs so all this is just useless chat.
What you are ignoring is that the people who could have delivered an OS4 version that runs on a Mac (remember "Moana"? that was
four years ago) decided not to do so. And now the very same people are trying to sell you a $3000 computer that apparently doesn't do anything that a six year old $200 Mac can't do. And we never got
any explanation for this decision. That's why a comparison with Mac hardware is not "useless chat", but food for thought.
Some of us really want to use OS4 (it was my main OS for four years), but the only choices presented to us are pocket calculators that cost a fortune, or outdated desktop computers that cost three fortunes. I'm asking myself "why?" - and with every delay, with every benchmark, every time somebody mentions the price tag I look at Hyperion, the OS4 devs or A-EON for answers.
I didn't get any answers so far. Instead, I can now look forward to the next custom hardware debacle - which, as usual, is going to start with a major delay (the OS4 netbook should be out in four months - wanna bet if they make that deadline?). Followed by performance problems and stability or QA issues. And then either the hardware or the manufacturer (or both) will vanish again, leaving behind 50 proud owners of a netbook which is only half supported by the OS that runs on it.
At the same time MorphOS users are going to run their OS on cheap and readily available laptops produced by a respected company that run circles around those wannabe netbooks that will cost three times as much and will be produced by god knows who.
But yeah, our biggest problems are those evil guys publishing benchmarks.
