Compaq

Compaq was a pioneering computer company founded in 1982 that designed and sold personal computers and related technology. It was known for making high-quality, innovative PCs that helped popularize the use of personal computers in homes and businesses. Compaq was significant for developing affordable, reliable systems and for its competitive success during the 1980s and 1990s. In 2002, Compaq was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP), integrating its technologies into HP’s broader product offerings. Today, the Compaq brand still exists in some forms, continuing its legacy of quality computing solutions.
