What would be your move now that you know the price of the X1000?

My options are not listed.

Yeah, where's the point&laugh-option? :-D

[rebraist]

i'm already a morphos/aros user.
but i read the poll and i think that a 14% of people saying it'll buy an x1000 is a very good result for it.

[Boudicca]

Watch what you do !. When your desperate for cash I will pounce! Grrrrh!

[VingtTrois]

My options are not listed.

+1
I'll stay with my old AMIGA and will buy X1000 at $500/$800, not more.

[Lord Aga]

FPGA options are not listed.
Natami and Arcade are the way to go for a lot of people, including me.

Call me stupid but I would rather sell one hundred X1000s at 1000EUR each than ten X1000s at 2500EUR each. Nevertheless, it would be cool if we had an expandable and powerful X2000 workstation alongside a cheaper X500 machine as we had A500 and A2000 (or even better, A1200 and A4000) two decades ago. And yes, the Sam460 should cost 300EUR with a complete system at 500EUR _including_ AmigaOS4. Oh well ....

WinUAE is where it's at these days. If only there was a way to boot into a WinUAE environment from a Live CD or something bypassing Windows.

2600$ for a machine with dual core, but you can only use one core, and no internet or sound? Thats retarded, even by amiga standards.

Tension,

While you don't get "rid" of Windows, I've been extremely happy with the slipstream XP method.  Boots right into WB, no muss no fuss.  After configuration as per the guide you can opt to never see Windows again.

@Templario

I bought a Sam 460, and I'll had the idea of buy a X1000 but for 1500 euros but 2000 none, it is much money, with this money you can buy a MAC and it has more software.

Unfortunately

I must agree to your post here, My uncles Mac (christmas 2010) cost us $2800 in the end, even though its on x86 architecture, and in comparison to the x1000, well, the Mac would currently win hands down in software demand.

But the Amiga OS is growing, getting better, and eventually I am expecting to see a web browser capable of doing everything a real modern brwoser should.

HAha, and that is just the most important tool needed. Imagine if we started talking about software.......comparisons.

Overall, I am uncertain of my choice, as in the PDF of A-EON it stated that varysis had plans on bigger and better systems for us in future, if this is the case, would that not mean that something of notable power comes onto the market for AOS?

Example, 460 is already 1.15, ok x1000 is 1.8 dual core, but the AOS is not going to be using the dual core at immediate release. Not sure...............

Nope still not sure, consistantly wanting x1000, but trying to work out why the cost is so high when theyve used a CPU thats been out for a long time..............dont know what to make of it.

My answer atm would be this, still possible I buy one for myself also sure, but when is the question.

[AmigaNG]

Well its pricey, not too shocked about that, I'm more worried about it being
rushed to market slightly, I get the thinking behind it to get it to users hands for Christmas and money to develop the OS forward for Os4.2 which I guess will support all the X1000 features natively and I guess that's at best a few more months away, and I suppose they didn't want another Summer to past by without the new Amiga showing up, that would of made the Trolls way to happy!

So will I be getting one, I think what comes out of Amiwest will be the deciding factor and what the actually end cost is, as I can afford £1699 but that's not the final cost with OS, taxs, shipping etc I think it will pass £2,000 mark which is my upper limit (at the moment). So I need to really have a good think about what I want to do and weather its worth it, I know I could get a bad ass Sam460 set up with this much money with all the apps I want, as I was hoping to maybe buy a few for Os4, like Hollywood and AMC. But its all good news, and excellent work all round to all involved and I really hope its a success.

[Jambalah]

My moves:
Stay where I am, using MorphOS and enjoying it.
Giving a try to AROS as soon as I can.
Buy something for my retro-passion when I'll be able.
Hoping for Natami, too.
Playing with C64 =)

perhaps it would work in BartPE.
yes, its still windows, but can be run from LiveCD or, even better, LiveUSB.

[utri007]

This is wrong forum to ask that kind of question. Most of Os4 users and those who has interest to it has left this site already.

Some hostile MorphOs users has made them do that decision.

[Fransexy_]

I will buy two, one for use and another for collection purpose. YES I COULD BUY A 500 EURO PC MORE POWERFUL TODAY BUT THIS PC WILL COST 20 EURO FOR SELL TOMORROW!!!!

[sandpiper]

@all

Although I would love to have one, I winced when I saw the price. A big factor for me would be whether I could sell my micro A1 to move up to the X1000. Perhaps that option should be added to the poll. Anyone care to guess what a 512MB slightly used micro is worth these days?
