Warranty period for new HW

Response from Amigakit:

I think this settles the issue.

Piru, there was no issue.

I already advised that SOGA exceeds the European standard.

It would be pretty foolish to operate in the UK and not comply with SOGA.  Of course some do, but they are fly by night operations and normally operate out of market stalls, not internet presences such as AEON, Varysis, and of course Amigakit.

Your customer focus is laudable, but as has already been stated it is somewhat misplaced.  Anyone prepared to shell out $3000 on a machine should be capable of investigating this themselves, and perhaps have the means to repair it through other channels anyway.

To a bystander it looks like petty nit-picking, even if that is not you motivation.

It difficult to not see this thread as an attack on the X1000, but I will try,  
 to me if I end up getting an X1000 a 1 year warranty will be good enough as I know even before buying the machine there is a risk of even say Os4 support being dropped for it (unlikly) but could happen if sales are dreadful.  But one thing that did reassure me buying the X1000 is that it was being sold by AmigaKit not A-eon, I know that sounds bad, but I think Trevor and Co are well aware of what happened in the past with the AmigaONE, and I think the fact that Amigakit has been in the market for a very long time and very involved in the community (I suppose you could say Eyetech was uptill A1) but I just don't see it happing that they would shut up shop and move on if there is major screw up with X1000 they most likely do what they can to fix the problem.
 

 Plus your forgetting if it did screw up then that would not only be the end of A-eon, but most likely  Amigakit and Hyperion for screwing with the Amiga community (you could say again, but I think Eyetech did most of the mess), which I just really dont see happing and beta testers have had the board for a few months and Varisys for around 5 months so if their no problems on these systems they should'nt be on the final version sent out to (stupid, idot, silly, morons) customers like myslef.

I will now await Piru to post on any new hardware announcement if they dont specify the warranty length. i shall ignore the Ares 2011 news item.
