It's not even a real 64 inside. It's just a PC in a Commodore shell so it fails on all counts.
Exactly. The very least you would expect from a Commodore computer is...well, Commodore hardware and Commodore software, but this? same goes to the "Amigas"; a shitty linux distro on the top of dated PC hardware.
They could have saved the day by aiding AROS development, but nope, an expensive c64 case it is.

The new Amigas actually aren't PC's. They are PowerPC based.
Here's one for sale on ebay and the seller has others with different speed CPU's.

I'm talking about the models from commodoreusa.

They are not IBM-PC compatible but they are personal computers 😉

They don't even run Amiga OS natively. The SAM boards do.

Doh...They are not Amigas, that's the point.

I don't understand the allure of such a board though. I mean good heavens that's expensive...
