In my A6000 launch news article, I tried to mention all of the awesome features you get when you purchase this new Amiga from Apollo Team. Then I got e-mails and private chat comments where Amitopia readers asked about various topics regarding the A6000. I got so happy about the activity, and I also hope that the Apollo Team sells lots of A6000s. Perfect timing for launching a new Amiga? Yes, I think so.
It’s a really good sign to see so many comments, because it shows Amitopia that the Amiga community is alive. The Amiga community wanted this product to come, I feel… but many of you felt that I didn’t mention enough about what you actually get in the package when you buy the A6000.
So, here I have made a complete list of what you get when purchasing the A6000. It’s magic to see a new Amiga that fully delivers. Once I have one myself, I will provide a full review of it. Apollo Team did it this time. Really. Thanks again.

It’s also worth mentioning that the A6000 is 3D printed in a new way. It looks so good. You won’t notice it’s 3D printed.
Once you have purchased the A6000. You will notice that A6000 runs ApolloOS, an operating system that looks and feels like a classic Amiga but is built for the new hardware’s speed. It is the standard OS, but you can install the latest Classic AmigaOS on it too.
It’s a nimble, lightweight, and multitasking OS that can run classic Amiga software and games.
