What would be your move now that you know the price of the X1000?
« on: October 21, 2011, 10:59:07 PM »
Since we know the X1000 is over US$2600, are you still planning to buy it or look for another solution such as...

As for myself, the SAM460 is a much more realistic choice since I don't see what the X1000 can do that any NG Amiga can't(!)

I already have a nice uA1 (Micro AmigaOne)

It does the job for me with regards to OS4.1 and since I already spent enough money to get OS4.1 Classic running on my A1200T I won't be investing further on this platform.

However it's great these machines are being produced :)

I am currently looking for a Powerbook to run MorphOS on it.

Knowing that it's going to cost even more than it sounded like it was going to cost, I think I'll continue with my plan of not buying it, thanks. Instead, perhaps I'll give MorphOS a spin and see how I like it on the refurbished PowerBook G4 I got as a trade-in for some recycle-center rescues (which I paid approximately 1% the cost of an X1000 for.)

I did nearly exactly what I said I'd do when I heard the price announcement of the X1000:  Bought a MacMini and played around with MorphOS a bit and then eventually got a nice new iMac - which I just treated myself to.   :)

For hobbyist OS's, it's classic Amiga/TI/TRS-80/C64 or bust from here on out. Sorry, but no longer have the time, desire or patience for modern experimental stuff. Certainly glad the Amiga-like OS's exist, but it's just not for me anymore. Oh and in case you're wondering, Tiger's back on the Mini.   ;)

Well that and...

Stick with my Classic Amigas as nothing seems capable of replacing them 100%.

Continue to use and love my experience with MorphOS (a fast as hell Amiga compatible environment, not emulator).

Hope for Natami or some high speed FPGA solution to arrive.

Dabble with AROS till it matures.

Use Amithlon.

Continue to give WinUAE the finger.

Continue to wonder why non-Windows based Amiga emulators continue to get no love.

Hold out on OS 4 till it is released for Powerful modern hardware that is priced decently so all can afford and enjoy.

Oh and continue to use my Atari 8-bits as well. ;)

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.

I'll keep my Pegasos II which fullfills my OS4.x needs perfectly.. I even run MorphOS 2.7 on it and plan to run MorphOS 3.0 on it as well..
 
I'd love a Powerbook to get MorphOS mobility... and will keep praying for a new HW platform capable to run OS4.2+ and beyond priced accordingly... with full support of the underlying OS of course (X1000 no ethernet nor sound support on release?! c'mon!)...
 
Cheers,
