Which company marketed the Amiga 1000 personal computer?

The company that marketed the Amiga 1000 personal computer was Commodore International. The A1000 was the first released computer in Commodore’s Amiga family and introduced a machine unusually advanced for its 1985 price and era.

The computer was unveiled on July 23, 1985, at New York’s Lincoln Center in a presentation featuring Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry. It used a Motorola 68000 processor and custom graphics and sound chips, while its AmigaOS operating system supported preemptive multitasking. The original machine shipped with 256KB of RAM and sold for about $1,285 in the United States before a monitor was added.

In the U.S., Commodore marketed it simply as "The Amiga from Commodore," and the company logo was omitted from the case. International versions retained more visible Commodore branding. This sometimes causes confusion over whether Amiga was a separate manufacturer; Amiga was the product line and brand, while Commodore was the company behind it.

The A1000 was followed in 1987 by the Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000. Its multimedia capabilities helped make the Amiga one of the most influential home computers of the 1980s.
