Well since we are all offering our opinions on here, here is mine! ;)

You are off base Paul!  LOL  I think you are still stuck in the old
Amiga 90's mentality.  The Amiga One is a Amiga.  And if it runs just
as good as it looks on paper it will be great.  It's not a x86 PC
Motherboard that runs AmigaOS.  That would be the Amithlon.  It is a
new modern PowerPC MB that will run an Amiga OS, even Linux.

What do you want in a New Amiga?  A machine with a AAA chipset? 
Embedded graphics?  At a certain stage the machine has to evolve. Look
at the Mac.  It now also is like a PC.  That is the way things need to
be.  Otherwise we will be left farther behind.  We need to have
ATX/AGP/PCI/ATA100-133/USB 2.0/Firewire/DIMM/ etc.  Otherwise if we
have a old style amiga Motherboard it will be harder to upgrade.  Look
at the 1200/4000.  It has AGA.  It was great in 1993 but after that
you needed to get a Graphx Card.  Don't get my wrong I love my Amigas.
 I have a 1200, 3000 and 4000 that I use to this day.  But I
appreciate what new technologies are out there and the AmigaOne has
some of the best options.  We just need to start seeing then running
soon before we are left farther behind!
