Default AmigaOne is out of my budget league
AmigaOne X1000 is sold for 1,846.78 GBP or 2,269.62 EUR in AmigaKit. Isn't this a little bit too high for a computer?

Does this apply again to the very little market toward it kinda thing? I mean it cost $2973.05 US. With that price I can get the top of a line latest up to date gaming laptop!!

ACR must be really, really, really young. Overpaying for Amiga gear since the 90's is an Amigan family tradition!

Maybe so, but 3k for an Amiga is a little overkill. I mean call me crazy, but I am willing to pay 5K if it have the same amount of developers and software library as Linux community...and I am serious too. But since that is not the case...3K is too much.

I was unaware of this. I have a partially sighted daughter so that's not something I would use for laughs.

Actually I am wearing glasses. But that font was not intentionally, it is result of copying and pasting price from XE currency converter website that did affect the font. However, let us return back to topic in hands.

It was only meant to be a joke, that maybe you had lost your glasses. I use glasses myself.

What Amigas do you have now?

Just get the gaming laptop and dual boot AROS. Problem solved and you got the best bang for your buck.

Well, I don't have a prob with that price of the X1000 since there are alternatives available. My 250 EUR laptop from ebay may lack a certain name but is about as fast as the X1000. Why bother with that X1000 then?

Does your laptop run OS4? Of course it doesn't.

Well, no. And I don't miss it.Quite the contrary: I have a very good and pretty matured alternative amigaish OS for that machine that runs all my old 68k legacy software OS-natively as well as quite some new software. I think it's just cool. But I understand that there are some ppl who prefer OS4 - but those have to deal with the limited hardware offers. Complaining isn't leading forward though. Deal with it or look for alternatives.
