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 were around through the mid 2000s.

Ergo had a strange way of naming their products, many even incorporating puns, my personal favorite being the "Moby Brick".

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.

Release dates are likely mostly correct but are estimates. May be at most 1 year off.

If I know the ODM model of a laptop, I will link directly to the ODM model.
