I just heard and read on other forum that 1700 euro ($2500) is the selling price for this new AmigaOne x1000, is this true?.. if so this price is just way thru the roof for a computer in 2010, not many will buy this new machine. what happen to "computer for the masses not the classes"?.

@amigauser

Don't you think you should post some definite and trustful sources for your claims before posting stuff like that on a forum like this?

(I know forums where they ban people for spreading rumours without any proven substance).

@amigauser

The price of x1000 is not yet announced. It's all speculations. All they said on the A-eon site,was that the price would be a bit cheaper than what the A1000 was sold for in 1985. If this is with,or without inflation is still unknown.

You have two options:

1. Check your source. Ask yourself if this is a reliable source. Then ask yourself if this is too expensive for you or for other people. Then ask yourself who said the X1000 "computer for the masses not the classes". Then make up your mind and live with your conclusions.

2. Or you could just wait and see what the real retail price will be when A-Eon announces it and then decide?

What I think and what I'm gonna do? Option 2.

@AmigaUser:
Where do you have your information from?
I am sure you can tell us your sources, can you?

@amigauser

We don't know the price, and no one is selling it yet,

Who cares about the price - it's a real Amiga, I pay "whatever" it costs.

I think we just have to wait for A-EON to tell us what it will cost. Any speculations will just until then cause unwanted noise.

That was Jack talking about an 8-bit Commodore. This is an Amiga class machine with at least 32-bits.

Which sold 3-4 times as much as the C= Amigas combined...
So something must he have done right?

@amigauser

Is this an inderect attempt to request a price ?

It really should not be 'keep the price steep', but a proper business driven price based on parts, labour, taxes, R & D, estimated units etc.

From this initial cost price slap on 60%.

1700 euros is a real bargain, not only you get a shiny new X1000, we'll also throw in a Xorro expansion card populated with 256 XCore chips, giving you massive parallel processing comparable to a 100GHz CPU!

How much would a 100GHz PC cost if it existed? 2 quad-core PCs would cost you 1700 euros already and barely get you 20 GHz worth of computing power...

See? It's a bargain!

Wow, people really seemed outraged at this. If I go to AmigaKit a complete SAM system with 1GB of RAM is $1043.64

The X1000 certainly will cost more then a SAM. So I don't think $2000+ for a complete system is unlikely to be the retail price.

@amigauser

I heard that's just for the shipping cost. It comes in a very big box.

@amigauser

Quote your sources, buddy. It sounds like a wild guess to me. It could easily be correct (I wouldnt know, I'm not privy to any of that information), but I dont think theres any point arguing over a price that isn't confirmed.
