Ambra Computer Corporation was a subsidiary of IBM in the United States. The name "Ambra" was licensed by Individual Computer Products International (ICPI) - a UK-based IBM subsidiary which owned Ambra Personal Computers in the UK - to the Ambra Computer Corporation. It introduced a line of personal computers targeted at the home user, sold mainly through mail-order, first in Europe (1992), then in the USA (1993). Ambra had a volume production run of just a year or so; the line was discontinued in 1994 in favor of the IBM Aptiva (except for Canada, where it was not discontinued until 1996).
