Later in 1992, another Amiga model was born, the Amiga 1200 which featured an advanced graphics chip (AGA) as in the professional A4000 model which displayed graphics equivalent to the PC's VGA card.

2MB of RAM was included this time, together with the PCMCIA slot from the A600. The Kickstart and Workbench O/S were upgraded to v3.0 and were considered the best versions yet. The A1200 also came with a 2.5" hard drive connection on-board, so you could easily install a bootable Workbench system with games.
