@BigD: If you don't intend to buy it anyway it isn't relevant if or when its available, isn't it?

I would buy it if there is a reason for buying it beyond just to use AmigaOS at the cheapest price point. I honestly couldn’t justify the purchase right now but then it’s not available for the foreseeable future so there’s plenty of time for A-EON to ‘drum up support’ for it! It feels like last chance saloon and sadly I’m now more excited about the thought of trying out a V1200 or reading David Pleasance’s book! Scrub all of that, I might just play Elite Dangerous on x86-64 or edit a home movie on Adobe Premiere.

I’m just saying generally that A-EON should make the Tabor fun with vouchers for Hollywood or bundled Wings Remastered and then it’s tempting. A bare mobo with just a whimper of a release and the ongoing Hyperion/Cloanto litigation in the background is not conducive to a platform resurgence IMHO. Stephen Jones should be in charge of a sensible roadmap going forwards and why haven’t AmigaKit brought a RabitHole Amiga laptop to their UK store to plug the gap?

Four years ago I think I might have bought one, but I've gradually come around to the position that I don't want to buy/license anything from Hyperion, and an A1222 without OS4 isn't much. So I guess I'm on the @BigD list as well, albeit for different reasons.

Seriously though, why do we have to order the A.L.I.C.E. laptops from the USA? Get a worldwide distribution system going please! Even when supply isn’t a problem the parties at play still drop the (Boing) ball!

I doubt there's a big market for Alice laptops because it's something anybody can do themselves by installing Amikit on any laptop of their choice.

If you disagree with me there's nothing stopping you from filling this perceived gap in the market yourself.

In a few years, someone will have a JIT P1022 running on an ARM stuck on a 68000 slot accelerator running at 6.4 GHz... before the A1222+ is released.
