Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) was established in 1987 as one of the first motherboard manufacturers in Taiwan during a period of rapid growth in the world's IT industry. In volume terms, ECS is now the largest producer of motherboards in the world, with production reaching 1.5 million units in 2001.

Recently, ECS has concentrated on broadening its product range. ECS made a name for itself in the PC industry by introducing the Desknote PC platform in October 2001, a portable desktop replacement solution that fits in between the established desktop and notebook categories. As part of the Desknote platform, ECS raised the curtain in January 2002 on the i-Buddie 4 (A928), the world's first mobile Intel Pentium 4-based PC that uses Intel's desktop Pentium 4 processors. Other product lines are notebook PCs, thin client products, graphics cards, LCD PCs and IA motherboards.

In a very short period of time, ECS has established an international reputation as a major manufacturer of new and innovative PC products. As the market trend for smaller and more portable PCs continues, ECS will continue to design new PC products. Through achieving economies of scale and ownership of key component factories, ECS is committed to delivering high quality goods at competitive prices, while also insuring a stable supply of products for our long-term customers.
