Just found that out:
Orange Amp PC
Nice idea to replace the "Brüllwürfel" (German slang for "Practice or bedroom Amp")
Got some heavy software in there, the total weight is 24kg 
"Audio Features: 7.1 line out, coaxial S/PDIF out, optical S/PDIF out, 2x
1/4in TRS outputs, 2x 1/4in TRS inputs, 2x 1/4in TRS instrument
inputs, 2x integrated 6.5in JBL studio monitor speakers"
Check it out!

Hmm...
Apart from the beautiful design I can't say I'm thrilled.
Neither by the specs not by the included software...
As good as Studio One is (and I own it, too), it's clearly not for everybody.
It would be better to strip the whole thing down, reduce the price and leave the customer choice options for different software packages that could be configured in a custom way.
Didn't they already do something like this a couple of years ago?
What I got from the website is that it's a PC running Win 7 and some audio software incl. some JBL monitors and inputs/outputs that guitarists are familiar with.
Where did you get the practice amp reference?
Ok, I see.
A very nifty design indeed.
Very unique!
But what if it sounds like s*it?
Man, come on! It's an Orange! No Orange sounds like s*it!
Seriously, it's a Toy - but sure Looks Good, and Hey nothing Beats Win 8!
Muahaha
Hehe...
Will you buy it, then?

nope.
No! Got a roland cube and plenty of PCs and a KPA and a couple of tube amps for sale. But I really like the idea. And as a GAS junkie one can still can look at the pictures - no Need to get the stuff! It is just Amp porn

I honestly think my Kemper sounds awesome with Cube 20xl through the amp's aux-in.

Mine is a older 30 model and sounds great.
I was looking forward to this amp for two years when it was announced at one of the namm events. But it took so long. I am not sure if it is ready to ship to the USA ? Have to look at their web site.... But I do like the idea because it takes a lot of the guess work and trial and error for sounds and recording as well as the learning curve out of the equation. At least that is what I think it does.
But now, I have my modelers and sort of know what I am doing for my modest needs !
But if it works the way they say , I think it's a great idea with a speaker designed for , or at least chosen for the modeling sound , and everything there for a newbie to get started... But it would not replace my kemper
