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


What can I do on X1000 that warrants me paying 2000 euros + OS4.x?

Because for that money I can buy a used car or several nice x86 computers or a nice vintage Fender... All of which will return their investment and make me productive. X1000 will just make me 2000 euros poorer

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.

From http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/prototypes/lorraine.html

At that time, it was called Lorraine and it wasn't finish i.e. "The prototype consisted of four breadboards that were cabled together, requiring it's own seat on the plane"

Commodore initiated a number of changes that would upgrade sections of the design, make it cheaper to manufacture, and increase the speed of development:

the modem and cartridge port disappeared
Memory was upgraded from 128k to 256k
double-sided 3 1/2 disk drive was introduced as standard, ignoring the 320k IBM unit.
Finally, the initial OS, codenamed CAOS, was discarded in favour of the integration of TripOS and Intuition
The logic ICs were finalized, creating the familiar Amiga chipset (recursively known as OCS - Original ChipSet)
