With no irony at all that is of course exactly what many more people did. The implication you are automatically better off buying an Amiga for no better reason than it's cheaper is total bunk.Įven if we were to accept the Amiga fan-favourite price-objection argument then you'd be better off bypassing the Amiga and buying a Nintendo, because it's much cheaper again. To object based on price is proven to be bunk simply by the point of fact that there were always computers massively more expensive than the Amiga, available throughout its life, many costing many millions of dollars. The fact is people have been, and are still, prepared to spend a premium on premium hardware. It's overturned easily: Not everybody buying a desktop computer was broke. Yeah, pence per Mhz, the PC loses massivesly.
I think it says something about history that the release of the Compaq 286, which had a slot for a 287 floating point unit, and the Amiga were covered in the same issue of PCW in 1985.
