Certainly overpriced* (for now), but certainly not underpowered.  Tell me Persia what exactly the average user uses their computer for these days and what do you use yours for?

*How exactly is a company with limited funds able to go on and make better things and re-invest without actually making a profit?  Pray tell.

If it mentions AROS and MorphOS, I am good with it mentioning OS4. If it neglects these, it would be a shame.

BTW, does anyone know the maker of this? If so, PLEASE tell them to include CC (Closed caption). I will purchase it if the price is reasonable and it has CC.

Of course, we have to remember we are just seeing a tiny clip.

It's possible (likely??) that the mention of the X1000 is just a little blurb at the end showing that it's still going in some way...  (With a catchy kual sounding name)
Yes, they could include other options (AROS/MorphOS, etc), but if I went to the average person and said they still make an X1000 computer that runs a new AmigaOS, they will probably say something like "Wow.. Neat.."
If I tell that same person you can still get a machine and run MorphOS, they will go, "Um.. what's that?"..

It would require more explanation.  If you're doing a video and looking for a quick little "it's not quite dead" bit, X1000 (kual sounding and reminiscent of Amiga 1000) and AmigaOS is much nicer.....

Now, if you're documenting the CURRENT Amiga situation as completely as possible, then you need to include the others..
But for a historical look at the Amiga, maybe not so much..

Hi,

Only Amiga made it happen.

But

Amiga received no credit.

remember

Only MAC makes it possible

and

Windows makes it happen.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Yeah, it's nice and all, but even the clip posted needs more editing.  I think it's better we just let them do their work and finish it before we start doing critiques.  I fail to see what purpose discussing it more than a year before it's finished has.

I made a mention on the YT comments and I hope they take it to heart - "Before Mac OS" is way...WAY wrong.  MacOS was in development from '79 onward, and the Macintosh itself predates the Amiga by nearly a year.

I mean, I like the Amiga and all, but getcherfactstrait! :)

They said before Mac OS X, which is totally different than the Mac OS your thinking of. Amiga does predate Mac OS X by a long while.

In spite of which, it was still more revolutionary than OSX was on it's release or probably ever will be, for that matter...

and now listen, little child
to the safety rail

now my song is getting thin
i've run out of luck
time for me to retire now
and become a pc
