Which is the best Amiga and why?

[Darrin]

A2000 all the way!

Simple test:

Pick up an A2000 and drop it from about 3 feet onto an A1200 and note the damage to the A1200.

How much more proof do you need?  ;-)

Does that include a series of heavy expansions on the A1200??
If so, the case is not entirely settled. :lol:

I agree!

When I had I A600 I didn't complain . Wordworth was working fine, TurboCalc was doing nice graphs, and CanonFodder on TV was amazing!

Today I complain, that my Voodoo "refresh" my screens to slow, and my Apollo 040 is playing mp3 "slow" so...

As I mentioned somewhere... I like to change hardware and my A1200 is really nice for "tunning" . For someone who don't have any Amiga a A500 is nice, not to expensive and will give you a good idea of the Workbench and AmigaOS...

LOL.  OK, I'll add 5 Zorro SCSI cards to the A2000 complete with 5 20MB 3.5" Quantum hard drives and a 5.25" floppy.  :-D

That's a hard load to take. The only thing that could match that would be a A1200 built into that steel tower bunker that a saw a picture of the other day. But that could be concidered cheeting, so A2000 rules the waves. :lol:

I think my brain would lose miserably in that same contest with the A2000. What a scary thought...

So this boils down into two separate issues: The best Amiga and the most crash prof model, which is no doubt something to take into consideration before buying.  :roll:  :-)

I agree with an earlier post. The best Amiga is the one you have. SW or HW.

"Best" is a very subjective term.

To purists, the Amiga 1000 is the best, since it is the original Amiga.

The Amiga 1200/4000 appeals to those looking for the most technically advanced Amiga.  These two come close to matching modern PC's for capabilities.

My personal "Best" is the A500/A2000 duo.  This pair represents the high point in the Amiga's history.  Amiga was still ahead of the game for price and performance, and Commodore was at the top of its game.  I like the A500 for its profile, and the A2000 for its tinkering factor.  

It's all subjective, and it's all personal.

The only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust: roaches and A2000s.
