Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

[Templario]

Yes, I'm save money for it.

[persia]

It's quite a distinction to be able to shell out £1,150 for a motherboard and have to sign a gag order too....

[Amiga_Nut]

You know what, I wanted an AmigaONE in the past but never enough made to purchase them freely. Performance/price was bearable on that.

I think given the time that has elapsed and because OS4 only uses one core and no multi-threading the x1000 max price for a complete solution needs to be under £1000 simple as that. If this was the price I would get one because as a business user the security would be nice....unlike PCs which get ass raped as soon as you plug em into the net. And Apple is overpriced shite.

The machine is not the problem, the price is. Had they had the intelligence to just partner with IBM and get a Xenon 3.2ghz based solution (the CPU would have cost them peanuts and IBM NOT Microsoft own the rights to Xenon as in the Xbox360) things would be OK at even at £1500.

Mac users pay a premium for a variation of Linux with mild enhancements, I see nothing wrong in wanting a super fast OS4 machine. SAM and others are lame ducks as far as CPU speed goes and are also 200% overpriced IMO.

[jj]

Nope
 
I thought the A1 was overpriced and so to the sam and the Peg1 and PegII
 
Very happy with my £150 mac mini, might not be amazing to expand, but its the fastest PPC NExt Gen AmigaLike OS running machine out there and a great price

[djrikki]

Got a nice Mac Mini sat next to me at work which I own with a funky wireless keyboard... love em, but shame its Intel

May not be amazingly expandable, but has plenty of USB ports and who needs more RAM when you got 2GB and run Mac OS X... thats right virtually no-one!

And thats pretty much what the AmigaOne X1000 will have, plenty of RAM, heaps more USB ports, and a very comparable amount of Ghz.  Just need all the compatibility issues to fall into place.

Edit: By Compatibility I mean.. all the hardware supported, extra cores, general USB etc...

[TheMagicM]

nope

[Piru]

wrong for you to mention AmigaOne in the broader sense after all the previous models were made by someone else

They deliberately use the "AmigaONE" name with it. This means that it will be associated with the previous models, regardless who will be making it. If they would have wanted to make a break from the past they easily could have.

So until they've actually managed to get some end user products out there's only the ealier AmigaONE experiences to go by. Which weren't exactly smooth sailing to put it lightly.

I would hope for a release by December.  *fingers crossed*

I would consider it remarkable if the beta boards would be delivered by end of the year.

[phoenixkonsole]

I will play around with the beta board. I never used AmigaOS 4.x and i would like to see it on a 1.8Ghz machine. Also you have to admit that having a workground for 64Bit and dualcore support is neat. But i understand the concerns about the price too.

Well since more apps will come for AROS, MOS and AmigaOS i need some machines : )

What is the €/Mhz ratio for other available machines? (Not MOS and AROS ones)

[Cass]

No, I already got 4.0 on my A4000 CSPCC, and 4.1.2 on my Sam...

[yakumo9275]

no my money if I have any, is going toward mikes fpgaarcade. I have no use for a 'modern' non smp non 64bit pc. If I'm spending money its on a board that can run c64 with vga out and original amiga with vga out, thats what I want. If I want ppc amiga emulation I do it on my quadcore x86 with 16gb ram.

x1000, too expensive for no payoff (what can I do with it for that much money??)

I bought this for what an X1000 will cost!



Maybe I should paint it like a boing ball.

[jj]

Money would have been better spent on X1000 than that pile of crap
 
Sorry I am sure you love beetles.  I can't stand them/  They look like upside down old prams

...and yet it will hold its value far, far longer than Teron boards, industrial mini-ITX boards or PA6T boards ever could.

[easy_john]

I'm thinking about buying, but not right now.
Yet it is quite expensive, especially for Russia, with our small income.
Must be a way to buy just the motherboard - transfer large amounts of weight and rather expensive, difficult to pass the customs bureaucracy.

And all that is written "no," I want to say - you are enemies of amiga platform. Developers spent a lot of funds and time that would create a new, relatively competitive platform, and you can't spend some money once in 2-3 years to upgrade the computer on your favorite platform?

Or paint it yellow and you got your own Herbie. :lol:

@easy_john
Yeah buying a new computer every 2 or 3 years isn't a lot to ask now is it.  Although the use of the word 'enemies' is probably misguided.

Anyways a similar thread (and more importantly a Poll) I started on AW is looking more positive at this moment in time at least.  Although still quite divided.

I even say that it is not so much a question of buying a new motherboard, how to support the development amiga as platform altogether.
I believe that everyone who is connected with Amiga, must somehow try to help in its development.
