First, I thought the graphics were demonstrated in Spock's memory test on Vulcan, and then I hear that Commodore wanted Paramount to pay for the A1000 they would use in the Plexicorp scene, so they went to Apple who lent it to them instead. But now I hear that the Amiga does not appear AT ALL, much to my sadness. So what's the truth?
Considering Scotty bashes away at a Mackintosh in order to create the three recurring pictures of circles that are supposed to represent the molecular structure of transparent aluminium then it's unlikely an Amiga was anywhere. You don't advertise on the same page as your competitors.
Ya Kirk-loving Spocksucker!
Yep. Just as there are no M&Ms in ET.

Bob the Builder and Hadji walk into a bar...
The Amiga was VASTLY superior to that machine that Scotty "bashes away at", for one thing. Christ, that Mac doesn't even have a colour screen! But whilst the Amiga was highly innovative at the time, Commodore was not such a great company to own it.
As for the Vulcan computer that tests Spock, those visuals look like they could've been provided by an Amiga, its graphics were THAT good. But alas, it was too new a system and not many could utilise its graphics effectively at that time. Heck, it wasn't until around 1988 to 1990 that the machine finally showed off its massive potential.
Babylon 5, the first HD graphics in 4096-colour HAM, hahaha :p
