If it had a functioning keyboard, super! Would jump on one as fast as I could. As it stands, it's a no for me. And yes, I know about the option of connecting an external keyboard to it but alas... it's just not right. I have my real Amigas and I think I'll keep amigaing with them.

I share your concern about the Keyboard, bit disappointed they are going with the "Mini" design, but then again they did this with the C64 Mini initially and over time we got the full sized machine, we can hope..
For myself it's a nice convivence, easy to transport and hook up to a modern TV, introduce to some friends and family without the hassle.
