Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 19 September 2011.

ACube Systems is honoured to present the first AmigaOne since 2005: the AmigaOne 500.

This is a complete system like the Amiga 500 was, a computer you can use right out of the box.

The AmigaOne 500 brings modern features to AmigaOS: DDR2 memory, USB2, PCI Express, SATA2, Gigabit ethernet...

The AmigaOne 500, based on our Sam460 board has the following features:

CPU at 1.15 GHz
2 GB DDR2 RAM
500 GB HD
DVD RW
PCI SATA 3512 controller
AmigaOne Mouse
Stickers for keyboard customization

Availability: 26th september

The case looks acceptable. Part of me wants one of these new systems but I just don't know what I would actully do with an OS4.x system for me to justify spending the money on it. Between my classic Amiga's and a PC I can prety much do what I need to do...I guess I'm waiting for something special to come out for the machine. I hope this and the X1000 make the money they need to in order to keep the development going though.

Sorry, I don't like what is inside and outside too.
[edit] ok, maybe this one is better for me, but I think something is still wrong:

DDNI · 19 September 2011, 01:33

I think they should have gome for the AmigaOne X500 name. This would be in keeping with the AmigaOne X1000.

RMK · 19 September 2011, 01:56

Agreed, althought I wouldn't be surprised if if it turned out that Trevor has already registered the name with A-EON.

looks like a brief case.

If that's not a dig at Hyperion/Aeon then I don't know what is

Looks like a travel case lol

It looks like a '60s vintage reel to reel tape recorder to me.

And for a mere £1,000 , bargain. Oh wait a min

Looks like a make-up case

Sigh, when will the madness end?

Madcrow · 19 September 2011, 20:36

This just doesn't interest me. It's way too expensive and only runs AOS4 rather than the superior MorphOS. The closest thing in spirit to a true modern Amiga is STILL a Mac Mini G4 with MorphOS!

AmigaDave · 19 September 2011, 22:09

Not many positive responses to this latest news from ACube here, or on any of the other forums either.

I wonder how they handle these responses "in house", or if they even pay attention to the many Amiga forum sites for feedback?

RMK · 19 September 2011, 22:14

The more I look at the case the more I think it looks pretty cheap.

Nothing to be positive about really. It's nothing new, just what they already had only sold in a package with Amiga on the case. Amigakit already sold complete systems for less than this...which is still too expensive. I don't know how ACube could have thought the response would be anything other than it is.

mr.vince · 20 September 2011, 00:33

The A500 was sweet and snuggly. This looks like an ugly tank. Where's the style?

desiv · 20 September 2011, 04:13

True, it doesn't really look/feel anything like a 500...

Perhaps the AmigaOne 1500?
That was a more awkward design and is closer name-wise to US price. ;-)

I wouldn't worry about that AmigaDave

There isn't any confusion for the actual target audience and the new users won't be affected like the aging bitter masses...

Not being funny, but just how many 'registered' users are there for OS 4.x ?

It would be interesting knowing.

Marcuz · 20 September 2011, 13:56

The second one is also a retouched picture of the first one possibly (not that it is much relevant)...

They should have released 3 models:

AmigaOne 500 - sam440ep
AmigaOne 1000 - sam 440ep-flex
AmigaOne 2000 - sam 460ex
