AmigaONE X1000 Free Shipping Offer

[danbeaver]

Wish A-EON would make a mid range offering.  Was looking into a X1000 recently and realized I could buy a Titan Z for cheaper.

The mid-range AmigaNG is made by Acube; by all accounts and rumors, new production begins in May.

Kickstart, I normally ignore ill informed posts, but as this one is directed at me, I will list my Amiga heritage.

First Amiga in 1986, constant use of Amiga until 1997. 6 year gap. Missed the red blue wars. Returned in 2006.

A500 x4 with various accelerators and WB setups
A600 with 030 and ClassicWB
A1200 x3 with 030 accelerators
A1200 Mediator BPPC @ 330mhz 060 @ 70mhz OS3.9 - Sold
A1200 BPPC @240 060 @50 BVision OS 3.9 - Sold
AmigaOne X1000 OS4.1 update 6

Does this qualify me to hold an opinion on the X1000 that I use everyday? Or perhaps I should be doing what many others do, read spurious forum posts and form an opinion having never even seen a real X1000?

Don't bother with this, he just wants to insult you.

The x1000 is better for you than the real amigas or its a joke? just a question not insult...

[klx300r]

oh boy here we go again.. I'm counting the seconds till our friend TMHG shows up:p

@ kickstart

what you define as 'best' may not be what others believe..surprise surprise..sigh

your previous post 'The x1000 is the best "amiga" for you? really? you never had a real  amiga?... if the answer is yes, the amiga "community" is really dead.' is uncalled for & trolling at its worst considering the thread title

[gertsy]

My envy senses are tingling.
Ill informed debate is a symptom of modern society isn't it?
I think therefore I Yam.

[Vlabguy1]

I'd like to see the actual number of X1000's sold to date.  Im sure OS 4 is great and it's def. 100% Amiga!  Why not just bag this X1000 hardware and blast out OS4.xxx for current hardware..or even vintage Mac PPC stuff.  Seems like wasted effort at those prices and lack of serious demand!!  

New Mac Pro 2,999.00 just sayin.. for comparison sake.

Rich.

[ElPolloDiabl]

I don't think it is that good of a deal. They may be having trouble moving them and reduce the price further. Not to mention people will waiting for the upgrade.
I'm pretty sure you can buy a 50inch 3D TV at that price.

I'm pretty sure you can buy a 50inch 3D TV at that price.

Why do people insist on making these comparisons?  Can your 50" TV run AmigaOS?

My Amiga 500 can run AmigaOS and it is the greatest Amiga ever.

You should not react to posts like this. We all have different definitions of "Amiga" today (for me it is the "classic" line with todays continuations including Aros 68k and AROS, AmigaOS and MorphOS as something different), you see X1000 and AmigaOS as Amiga, others see MorphOS as Amiga who cares...

The split is strength and curse at the same time, strength because we (in opposite f.e. to C64 or Atari community) have modern implementations partly even on different hardware, curse because it splits the resources. We should try to compete against each other and make best offers and try to peruade users with it and not bash each other or call other "trolls" and similar.

[ElPolloDiabl]

Alright, but don't act like they will leave the market if you don't buy at that price.
There is a small amount of people in the community who can afford to pay any price for an Amiga and will.
Others would prefer something in the sam460 price range.

The gratest amiga ever and a real amiga, not these sams or x1000... is good to know that there are still people who know it =)

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I like how all your bashing of the X1000 is keeping this post at the top of the homepage... thus promoting AmigaKit's sale even more.  Methinks your plans have backfired, LOL.   :roflmao:

[amigakit]

The encouraging thing is that the majority of customers who have bought the AmigaONE X1000 computers from us this week have all been new customers, presumably from outside our community.  This is good news as it makes the user base larger.  With the AMIStore project coming online soon, this will attract new developers also from outside the community.

@AmigaKit

Wait....are you saying you have larger customer sales because of this forum post?

@AmigaKit

Making posts and getting exposiure regarding their hardware certainly cant hurt.
I for one noticed amigakit thru posts on this very forum.
I might not have sunk in xxxx euros on a NG machine, but ive picked up bits and pieces over the years.

Making a few posts on a few forum cost nothing, probarly generate some extra income and makes info even more easily found by unaware potential customers.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
