I think the first thing to ask is what would you consider as a successful reboot of the Amiga?
1, Amiga, (or Amiga 1000 as it was later called) with it's slam-dunking of EVERY desktop and home computer that money could buy in both hardware and OS? PC was still on DOS..DOS!!! FFS Mac had NO COLOUR AT ALL!! etc. So witness Defender of the Crown and Marble Madness on PC or Mac vs Amiga [1000]
Very good machine better than anything that pc and mac offers.
2, Amiga 500/2000 with some quite important advantages in many areas but not technically the best (VGA had been invented) as had some very high end sound cards for PCs.
1987 - Apple introduces the first mac with true color.
3, Amiga 3000 - again getting less technically superior, now relying on things like easy to genlock and native TV signal frequency and aspect ratio (something PCs still found hard)
1990 - Macintosh with 68030 and true color card (not accelerated ) 2 MB VRAM costs less than Amiga 3000.
4, Amiga 4000/040, one of the first 24bit 720p still image (at 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic picture output) photorealistic computers and one of the first computers able to handle 128mb of RAM. But certainly not cheaper £/mhz sometimes. Terrible audio for a 1991 £2000 computer etc
1992 - were available cheap SVGA card for PC, with 24-bit true color at at a resolution of 640x480, 16 bit color at a resolution of 800x600.
Mac also has a 24-bit color.
And even Atari has chunky pixel and 16 bit color.
5, Amiga 1200 - good start with slightly breathed over improvement in graphics (HAM 8 in super hi-res still technologically superior to XGA cards) but with more expensive expansion options over PC (no sound expansion, memory only on complex expensive trapdoor cards, 2.5" very expensive laptop hard drives required etc) but still could sometimes beat a Pentium 100 PC like Super Stardust AGA.
Not because it could not be done.
But because in 1996 when Stardust was ported to PC, PC users have first working 3D accelerator VooDoo and no one was interested in 2D games where you can play great looking 3D games.
So what is it you want?
In my opinion the X1000 does nothing of even the above, and neither does SAM460 based computers. The OS doesn't do anything you can not do on Linux/OS X/Windows and the hardware again doesn't do anything a cheaper PC or identically priced Mac doesn't and in many cases falls very short compared to Intel i7 and suitable 64bit OS.
Exactly the same as the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000.
In 1992, PC users have MS Word, MS Excel, Adobe Photoshop.
And everything You could do on the Amiga You could do on cheaper PC.
And since 1993, even games were much better on PC.
