Retro computing fans have a new date to circle: Apollo Computer is releasing a second batch of its Apollo A6000, an Amiga-compatible all-in-one modeled after the iconic Amiga 600, on October 13 at 10:00 AM CET. Only forty units will go on sale online at the same MSRP as before, €960 (about $1,120), with delivery slated by November 30, 2025. If you’re attending Amiga 40 in Mönchengladbach, Germany from October 17 to 19, an additional twenty units will be available directly at the Apollo booth.
The Apollo A6000 blends classic Amiga charm with modern performance. Built on tech derived from Apollo’s acclaimed upgrade boards and standalone systems, it packages everything into a sleek, compact case inspired by the original A600. It’s designed to feel authentic while adding the speed and connectivity today’s users expect.
Highlights at a glance:
– Mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches and injection-molded keycaps
– Four USB-A ports for peripherals
– Ethernet for reliable networking
– Dual SD card slots for storage and easy file transfer
– Apollo OS, compatible with the AmigaOS 3.1 API
– 2 GB of fast RAM, 12 GB of chip RAM, and 128 GB of storage
This hardware comfortably powers the lightweight Apollo OS, which is based on the open-source AROS project to retain strong compatibility with classic Amiga software while enabling modern conveniences. The A6000’s design lineage traces back to decades of Amiga innovation: after Commodore’s legendary run from 1985 to 1994, third-party developers pushed the platform forward with accelerators, new operating systems, and emulation options. Today, enthusiasts can choose everything from official emulators to PowerPC-based systems running newer AmigaOS versions—while devices like the A6000 deliver a dedicated, all-in-one experience in true Amiga fashion.
Can’t wait for the new batch? The A500 Mini is a convenient, plug-and-play emulator that scratches the retro itch while you count down to October.
