I already have and pretty much all of my friends run branded PCs or laptops(ok, laptops are all branded but by this I mean brands like Toshiba, Sony... that is, somewhat more expensive brand products).

If you set value on having "somewhat more expensive products", you'd be quite well served with the A1X1000, wouldn't you?

See, this is the difference in our way of thinking.
I take the reliability of an company into account.
And as far as the Amiga is concerned, it wasn't created by Commodore - it was created by Amiga. Amiga then was bought by Commodore.

Nothing wrong with that.
My first computer was a CBM 610 (aside from my TI 57 calculator), although I was 29 when I got it back in 1986...

Obviously you got me wrong.

Partly I reply to you to put some of your statements straight where I felt they were misunderstandable or just plainly wrong.

And partly I reply to ask questions about e.g. what the benefit of buying an Commodore x86 oveer any other x86 would be.

This has nothing at all to do with persuading you or others or with posting rampage.

It is not that I would not be aware what happens in the x86 world - I got the news of Commodore selling new C64s not from an Amiga forum.

I wish them luck for their endeavour - its just that they don't have anything I need.

And you were so far not able to list the advantage(s) of an Commodore x86 vs. any other x86 that could make me buy one.

I would have expected at least one argument suited to make me think, given the vehemence you're advertising their (still vapor) products here...
