Honestly, I really don't like it.
I don't like the A1200 stamped on it. It really bothers me bigly. It's an AMIGA damn it! AMIGA belongs stamped in that spot!
I don't like the tank mouse with the 1200 either. Flagship Amiga model at a high cost and a recycled mouse from the A500 mini that doesn't belong with a 1200 design-wise.
I don't like the fact that it is just an ARM CPU, running software emulation - nothing special at all. Same as A500 mini?
FYI:"The A500 mini, features an All Winner H6 chip which is a CPU ARM Cortex A53, this is the same chip that powers Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi Zero 2."
People will maybe have ideas for this keyboard, likely just a USB job, which maybe good for projects. Or the case, which I'm pretty certain can't host a 1200 Mobo or a floppy drive with button being likely one with the case. But for £399 (nearly $550 USD) plus all the associated delivery and duty costs...for a nicely wrapped $20 or so Pi? I'd rather buy real used A1200 with a CF card. Can buy one for the cost of this, shipping included. Not for me for sure.
Someone who likes this A1200, please do the other side of what I'm saying and sell us on this.

What about someone who bought Commodore Licence and i know Retro Ltd is different company but I seem think someone should bought Commodore Licence 10 years ago and sadly shipped sailed unless you willing to wait 2026 for new Commodore computer(with commodore Licence)
Now ZX Spectrum next had their 2017 kickstarter and eat pieces of cake(mean got moneys!) and got fans based as it starting to grow bigger thanks to Issue 3 Kickstarter of ZX Speccy Next 2025.
then Retro Ltd did their too and got moneys and got fans based too.
So either you like it or you dont like it the 1200 and I think system of options on person who never owned Amiga before hence why they selling the 500 or 1200 for younger people and older people.

A1200 is a $20 Pi wrapped in pretty plastic.
Those ZXes, are $30 range AMD FPGA chips.
Aren't those Kickstart ROM prices? Seems quite thin on the hardware spec in my view to pay these prices. But I'm weird like that.

A1200 is a flagship product? I always thought it was a entry level system... I thought the A4000/A4000T are the flagship products. I bought the A4000 back then and when the A1200 was released, I did not get it. Got one now though. I do not understand why they have to call it A1200. That just causes confusion. Frankly, I'd prefer the original A1200 and emulated systems should be called something else... (ie. Commodore 65 became Mega65).
+1 to that.
I meant for RGL, as this will be their top priced "Amiga" look-a-like model.
