Ergo Nifty Fifty NoteBrick

Ergo Nifty Fifty NoteBrick

The Nifty Fifty is a 486-based laptop, announced in late 1992. I'm not currently sure who ODM'd this laptop, I'll update this page when I do know.

It appears that there were at least three versions of this laptop - a DX2-50 Color, DX2-50 Grayscale, and a SX-25 Grayscale.

The color model's full name was the "Ergo Nifty Fifty 486/50 Color NoteBrick" - quite the mouthful. I'm also not sure whether the SX-33 model was actually called the "nifty fifty" or not, since it wasn't running at 50MHz. Another ad mentions a DX/33 model.
