During the lifetime of the Amiga a range of different Amiga models were produced by Commodore, and after Commodore's demise other companies continued to produce later models, and develop others. This page contains a list of the different official models of Amiga computer, plus details on clones, unreleased and unofficial models. Further information about each model can be found on each models own page linked from this page.
