What can I do on X1000 that warrants me paying 2000 euros + OS4.x?
The X1000 clearly isn't aimed at you. Why do people spend $$$ on accelerator cards for 15 year old machines when a PC rescued from a skip would surely be faster (and free!)? Why do people still spend good money on 30 year old classic cars when a modern GM-something is likely faster, more reliable and with aircon?
I would like to return to Amiga OS because I *like* it. I run windows but dislike it, I run Linux but my day job has killed the enjoyment for me, I've tried OSX and whilst I have no complaints it's just not my thing.
I know I'm not the only one in this category - we may be a minority but the PPC hardware and Amiga OS is aimed at us; those returning to the OS we grew up with and those who've already shown their commitment by investing in SAM's, Amiga One's etc who wish to upgrade.
It may sound crazy but people will spend money on things they love.
If you set value on having "somewhat more expensive products", you'd be quite well served with the A1X1000, wouldn't you?

Fun is what YOU make of it!

One can always find different ways to spend his money on.

Even my good old A4kPPC still makes me productive. I expect a boost in productivity with the A1X1000.
