Compaq Deskpro

The Compaq Deskpro was a line of business-oriented personal computers manufactured by Compaq, then discontinued after the merger with Hewlett-Packard. Models were produced containing microprocessors from the 8086 up to the x86-based Intel Pentium 4. In 1985, Compaq released the Deskpro 286, which looks quite similar to the IBM PC/AT. Then in 1987, the Deskpro 386 was launched after Intel released its 80386 microprocessor, beating IBM by 7 months on their comparable 386 computer, and thus making a name for themselves. The DeskPro 386/25 was released August 28, 1989 and cost $7,999.
