What benefits will Ergo offer you?

The public sector is typified by tight budgets, coupled with a real need to get best value for money and the expectation that the equipment must have a long working life. This requirement for the notebooks to last many years, not in the careful hands of a private user, but more typically in the more demanding environments of education, hospitals or the MoD, makes Ergo's notebooks the perfect choice.

Look at the real cost of computing

I can buy a laptop in the high street or at the superstore. Why should I buy Ergo?

Compare like with like

The basic price of a particular machine may appear to be lower at first. But try adding on all the extras to match the Ergo specification. Watch out for VAT, basic software (Are you getting a full version of the latest Windows operating system?), carry case, warranty details. Often you'll find that the pricing position is reversed.

The cheapest laptops are built using desktop PC components

This means that they are often bulkier (desktop components are bigger of course). They also run hotter. Sometimes this results in two fans being fitted. Even if only one fan is fitted it will run more frequently, making the machine noisier. But the most serious result is that there is more drain on the battery, giving a shorter time before the next recharge.

Ergo laptops are tougher

Magnesium alloy is many times stronger than plastic, however smart the latter may appear. The use of mag alloy suits Ergo laptops to the rough and tumble of educational environments.

Ergo offers first class support

If you need technical support, Ergo has a help desk staffed by engineers who know the computers inside out. You are not kept waiting by a call centre whose staff may be answering queries about scores of unrelated devices.

Ergo computers are built in the UK

Using standard high-quality components, Ergo computers are built and tested using a state of the art robotic facility in Nottingham. They are not merely pulled from a shelf in a warehouse.

Ergo guarantees to have stocks of spare parts for five years

Many Ergo laptops are working six, seven, eight years after they were bought. But if a part is required during the first five years of its working life, Ergo will have a replacement. If they don't, they will replace the machine.(Electronic spare parts only, excluding system batteries)

Ergo salespeople don't earn commission

You are not going to be pressured to purchase machines that don't match your needs. In fact, because the laptops are built to order, you can configure components such as hard disk size, optical disk drive, CPU and wireless card.
