Welcome to the Ergo/Brick Homepage on MacDat!
Ergo Computing (later renamed to Brick Computers) was a laptop distributor that sold computers from a variety of ODM/white label brands. They got their start selling portable/lunchbox style computers, and eventually entered the laptop market. They sold laptops up until around the mid 2000s, but seem to remain in business as a computer repair shop in Rowley, Massachusetts.
Ergo also had a UK brand which appeared to have sold different laptops than the US branch did. This page lists laptops from both branches. I believe Ergo UK is also still in business, being recently acquired by another company called OfficeXpress.
