What is your favourite amiga model ?
Both today when everything is available and in the context of when it came out.

Similar, which one is your least favourite ?

Least: The hulking great Amiga 500. I will say it does have a certain charm though.
Most: The minimalist Amiga 3000 Desktop. Just need to squeeze a CD-ROM bay in there.
Old Fav... The A3000 Tower.

a4k, even if a few a1200s and a my first 600 brought me the most in their time.

The 500 has a lot of charm to me mainly in being the epitome of "**** you PC, I have 512 KB of RAM and you still can't play Shadow of the Beast"

Back in the late 80's I think the A500 was my favorite because it was actually something I could afford with the proceeds of my Albersons grocery store job. I think I made a whole $3.05 per hour

My friend from school (the now infamous Columbine HS) had the A1000 which made my C= 64 look like a toy. So I knew I wanted the Amiga. After researching the differences between the 2000 and 500 I decided on the 500.

As I recall the machine was $550 or so from the cheapest mail-order vendor and I had saved that amount finally. I did not yet have enough for shipping, but I gave my dad the money and he ordered it for me. I'm like PLEASE! I'll have the rest of the money before it arrives...

I used it with a monochrome amber monitor and the only redeeming thing about that is I could run interlace mode with very little flicker. The mouse would leave trails though

I think the best ever was the 1200. The price was reasonable and the machine was really built to be expanded - IDE/PCMCIA/Trapdoor and the then unknown clockport.

The 4000 is probably the machine I feel is my least favorite - if I had to pick one.

The 1000 is my most favorite. I was around seven when I first saw it at the local Amiga dealer. Compared to the C64 I used at the time, it was a whole different universe of possibilities. The case is probably one of the best looking peices of industrial design in the last twenty years.

The 600 is the worst and besides being ugly, was way overpriced.

All A600s should be collected, melted down into a hollow plastic slug into which all print references to it should be placed, and fired into the sun.

I really wish the A4000T would be in wide release today.

Never was a fan of the 500, had one, just not a fan.

A1000 is the best looking Amiga, IMO, but I've never had one so I can't really say it's my favourite one. One that I don't like? I like them all, even the A600 others here hate, because it was my first Amiga model.

Favorite Amiga: 4000, because of it's expandability, only wish is to get an Escom tower 4000, I have a few desktops, Micronik, so only thing I need is proper tower.
Also the 1200 shares that top position.

Even favorite (so not bad, but not great either): 500 / 2000, these are by far the best for games, but they lack the speed.
Although the 2000 has good expandability, the A500 is not, turbo boards are rare and often very expensive.

Least favorite: 1000, although you have hardware kickstarts, most of them are softkick and I can't see my self inserting disks all the time.
I would like to have one just for the collection, but I won't use it.

Fave: Without doubt, the CD32. Small, perfectly formed and most fun to use Amiga I ever owned.

A close second would be my Franken1200, which gave me many, many years of service through numerous upgrades and hacks.

Least: A500, because no desk I could get a hold of that fitted in the front room was able to provide adequate space for the thing. That and the fact that floppies wore out, usually on the last disk on a long game that you were but moments away from completing.

[ElPolloDiabl]

The A1000 should win the design award. Softkick is no biggy, just remember to use Ctrl-A-A instead of the switch. Swapping between 1.3 ROMs and 2.x/3.x ROMs to play your old games was a big hassle... Until Relokick came along.

Although I've never owned an a600, I like them. I often think about buying one ( and a plus-4 ) but I need to get rid of some other stuff first really.
 
I don't think I'd buy a CD32 or CDTV, I'd want to upgrade them both to full amiga's and that kinda spoils things.
 
A500 is the favourite one that I owned.

1st: A3000
2nd best: A1000
Both well designed, hardware-wise and by the looks, and state of the art with no or little compromise.

Worst: none - I love all miggies!

[dougal]

Most: A1200 for IDE + AGA + PMCIA
Least: CDTV cause its useless or else CD32

Ex Favorite: A500Plus because its my first Amiga when i was 12 yrs old
Ex Least favorite: A600 because just after buying my A500+, i saw an article on Amiga Format saying "The A500 is dead, long live the Amiga" in reference to the A600 being released
