I'd heard that about the Commodore 64, and that there was a "demo scene" where developers would make interesting demos of its sound and graphics.

I agree the PC seems like a more serious computer.  The Amiga seemed like a fairly decent and serious computer too.  I've heard about the Amiga having advanced sound and video capabilities for its day, and there was a video editing product called Video Toaster for the Amiga that was fairly popular.
