Compaq Deskpro

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COM : Compaq Deskpro

The Compaq Deskpro was a line of business-oriented personal computers manufactured by Compaq, discontinued after the merger with Hewlett-Packard.

The original Compaq Deskpro, available in several disk configurations, was equipped with an 8MHz 8086 CPU and Compaq's unique display hardware that combined Color Graphics Adapter graphics with high resolution Monochrome Display Adapter text. As a result, it was both considerably faster than the IBM PC and had a much better quality text display compared to an IBM PC equipped with graphics.

The formfactor for the Compaq Deskpro is mostly the desktop model which lays down upon a desk. Compaq has produced many tower upright models that have been highly successful in sales.

Many different models include the EX, EXD,EN,and the ES series.
