Amiga 1200 or Sexy Amiga
« on: February 13, 2016, 01:28:36 AM »
It looks like the A1200 is the computer that gets a lot of attention. When I go to a web site it seems to be the one that gets posted as a picture.
What do you think?

It's very photogenic.  Alongside the A500 and A3000.  The others, not so much,  IMHO.  ;)

Do you think that the A500 would be next or maybe the 600?

Did they ever make a keypad for the 600?

A4000T for me. I just wish the Commodore version had been released in number as that case was awesome even though the Escom one is still sexy.

I love the way my A4000T looks. Its by far the sexiest of the Amiga's I have owned, and I have had at least one of every model.

Yepp the A4000T looks amazing! I have a special love for wedge cases but the A4000T is so nice!

What do you think?

When you add FPGA cards any amiga will just be the keyboard and perhaps some interfaces, the rest will run on the cards. So it is a matter of taste and preferences what model you want to use. In this sense A600 is no different than A1200.

The A2000 is not necessarily pretty, it is a work horse. The A600 would look good if it had an optional keypad setting on the right.
1. A1200 best looking wedge or maybe the A600.
2. A3000 best looking desktop or the A1000.
3. A4000T the best looking tower.
