My favorite Amiga is an Amiga 1200 and cd32. The CD32 was the first game console with 32-bits power.

Now you're playing with AGA-power!

Now I have 2 A1200's. If I had some cash I properly buy another A1200.

I also like my CDTV which I got it free from a friend and the Amiga 2000.

A3000+

Followed by my A4000 in the Megatower, CD32 was/is fun as well, I probably should Ebay mine since I dont use it enough these days.

Hmmm good question.

I own the following.

A500, A500+, A600, A1200(*4), A2000, CD32

I think the 1200 has to be fave, I even use one for my buisness.

My fav is the CD32 for it's compactness.  

Years ago I had two of 'em and I even made a late night call to Eyetech about one of their expansion modules.  I still think it's a shame I didn't go ahead with the purchase because it really would have held my interest in Amigas at a time when I was being drawn to pcs.  

These days it's WinUAE for me although I do have an A600 with a compact flash hard drive and OS3.1.

A1000. I just love the look of it. Its really cute.

I own 2. I bought the second just for the 2 meg memory upgrade. I even have a 40 gig HD in my XT sidecar(like a bridgeboard only in an external box connected at the side) and stuck in an AT card that ran and whopping 8mghz. Woah.
The A1000 accessed the PC hd. Well it got me through school and let me program in pascal. (If only the bootup to do this didn't take so long.) Some of the error messages connecting to sidecar were hillarious.
One that comes to mind, "Really Broken. Stop All and Reboot". Wasn't good when showing the system in front of my PC and ST owning friends but we all cracked up.

I'll probably gut one for the Amiga One upgrade. Mahaha.
Poor thing. I've already seen someone gut one and put a pc motherboard in there. Sacriledge.

Well, I've had every Amiga model made..but to me the A2000 was the best design given it's expandability and that it had more room in it..everything wasn't squashed together and you could easily get to any of the slots, without having to remove the other cards.  The 4000T would have been my favorite, if it weren't for the fact that you had to remove the whole drive tray setup just to get to the CPU card,

Wee, lets see.  I have 2 Amiga 4000's and one Amiga 2000.  I remember that my high school had a Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 3000UX.  I'm still drooling over the Amiga 4000T that my public library has streaming CG graphics over our cable system for our public access channel. (It's the only computer in the library that hasn't been upgraded or offered for sale)

I remember some friends that used to do some coding for the 500, so I guess that sparked more of my gaming love, (well that and our Atari 800)

I would have to say I just love the Amiga in all it's form.  My 3 are playing nicely :D

I would have to say A4000T because it is like an A4000, but with all the problems fixed. No leaking Elyctrolitic capacitors, no leaking battery, etc etc.

Hightly annoyed after getting these problems with my newly aquired A4000. Should have just stuck with my towered A1200.

AmigaMCC ;-)

no, really, I think I like the CDTV the most.
And preferably with diskdrive and hd.
second, the A600HD
these two solely because of their neat console/computer hybrid feel. They made it not 'fish nor flesh' (sorry punkie, it's a dutch saying) but made it 'fish and flesh'.

But for revolution purposes, the A1000, A2000 and the A500.

But AGA came far too late and the A3000 wasn't spectacular either.
And the canary said: \'chirp\'

I only owned an A1000 and A1200 myself.

So i pick up A1200, which is towered and has some nice hardware atm :-)

I have seen and used a friends A4000T though, can't say i don't like it, but too pricey for poor guys like me :-(


Can't decide if i should choose the A1200 or A4000 now :-)

Well, i guess it will be the A4000 then :-D

Currently I have an A500 (w/GVP HD-8+), 2 A1000's (one with PC sidecar), an A2000HD and an A1200, in the past I also owned an A600. As for my favorite, I can't choose, the A500 is great for games, the A1000 is the probably the neatest looking Amiga, the A2000HD has heaps of room, the A1200 is a little rocket and the A600's size speaks for itself. Can't comment on the rest, never owned them. So, sorry, I don't have a favorite, I like em all.

I guess I've had enough Amiga computers to form an opinion.  (1000, 2000, 500, 2500, 3000, 3000T, 1200)

1000 = I had this first, it made me fall in love with Amiga

500 = learned how to make music with MED and draw with DPaint (all at 7.16 MHz even!)

2500/2000 = Using this you can feel the stability.  It feels like metal instead of plastic.. if that makes any sense

3000/3000T = My 3kT is the fastest Amiga I've ever owned (040/40).  Also has gfx card (Picasso II).

1200 = By far most versatile,  I used this for 3 years to surf the internet.  In 1998 I got surprised looks by friends at how much faster the 1200 would download and render a webpage than their PCs!

I would say the 1200 has been my favorite overall.

Hi,

Honestly, I wish I had an A4000T, But this old A2000HD packed to the gills (chk profile) has helped me get by until newer models are available. A1 showed up monday, Working on it.

Edit: Ohh yea. Well I've only ever had an A500 and an A1200, of the two I prefer my A1200.

The A3000 is my big fetish fantasy.
