    FYI I was making an observation:

    Sam 440 OTOH was the replacement to the A1 G4, a significant reduction in performance - without an equivalent cost reduction.

    Efika is not an equivalent because, it was a low end, low cost machine. It was never intended as a replacement to the Pegasos.

    The 460 is better, putting them back into G4 type performance land.
    The X1000 is a lot better again. It's very expensive for what it is, but I'm sure this will be a very nice machine for those interested.

    If the new laptop is the Limebook with the 5121e, it'll be even slower than the Sam440 so the slowest machine yet. It'll be a lot lower priced than the X1000 but it'll get creamed by £50 tablets (search eBay for "tablet allwinner A10").

    I grew up with the Amiga. It was a low cost but cutting edge machine. It horrendous to see what it getting beaten by the lowest end machines you can buy!
