About Compaq

 

The Compaq was founded in February 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris and Bill Murto, the trio senior managers from semiconductor manufacturer, the Texas Instruments. Their first venture capital came from Ben Rosen and Sevin-Rosen partners. Compaq- designing of the original Compaq PC was first planned out on a placemat by the founders while they were dining in a restaurant.

 

The Compaq Portable, a portable IBM PC compatible personal computer and the first product of Compaq was announced in November 1982. And it was launched at a price of $2995 in March 1983, a price which was more reasonable and affordable when compared to its competitors at that time. An ancestor of today’s laptop and the second IBM PC compatible, that had the capability to run all the softwares same as on any IBM PC. It was a great commercial success, selling almost 53,000 units in its first year.

 

As IBM mostly used the retro parts for their PC, Compaq was able to market a legal IBM clone. Also Microsoft had retained the power to license the operating system to other computer manufacturers. The only part which had to be duplicated was the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), which Compaq did legally by using reverse-engineering by paying a sum of $1 million.

 

After making half a billion dollars turnover, in 1986 Compaq released the Compaq Portable II, a much lighter and smaller than its predecessor, featuring a revised design with an 8 MHz processor and 10 MB hard disk. It was cheaper than the IBM PC/AT which was at $3199 or $4799 with a hard disk.


Compaq Deskpro 386, the first PC based on Intel's new 80386 microprocessor was introduced by Compaq in 1987, and then started the period of acquiring the performance leadership over IBM. In the early 1990s, Compaq entered the retail computer market with the Compaq Presario, and was one of the first manufacturers in the mid-1990s to market a sub-$1000 PC.

 

Thus Compaq became the first first-tier computer manufacturer to utilize CPUs from AMD and Cyrix. The price war resulting from Compaq's actions ultimately drove numerous competitors, and of them were IBM and Packard Bell. In 2001, Later Compaq engaged in a merger with Hewlett-Packard. HP Compaq competes against other computer manufacturers including Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Gateway, Sony and Toshiba to name a few.

 All About Hp Pavilion


The Hewlett Packard Company was found in a Palo Alto garage by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, the two classmates from Standford University in 1939. Originally the company was involved in manufacturing a wide range of electronic products for industry and even agriculture, but from 1940s to 1990s it spun-off its operations focusing on making signal generators, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, counters, and other test equipment. In 1995, Hewlett-Packard introduced a line of personal computers known as HP Pavilion (applied to both desktops and laptops product range). It is unusual because most manufacturers treat their desktop and laptop products as separate product lines.

 

The Pavilion comes with a CD-RW drive and a DVD drive. The drives have automatic doors that open and close when you push a button on the hardware box. Their operation is very smooth although the doors consist of flimsy plastic bits. The keyboard is a bit smaller than others but functional.

 

The mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel, and it is fairly generic. Windows is preloaded on the computer and consumers get a Wordperfect, for word processing which claims to be compatible with MS Word. There is some additional software from HP to manage photos. This is a great machine which is fast and handles programs well and is really a great experience, especially considering the price.

HP Pavilion has all the features as in any desktop and is the perfect choice for daily needs. Configuring dedicated graphics card, loading multiple web pages and streaming video, all without slowing the hard drive. And yes, it gives the great convenience of wireless mobility and Imprint finish for style and durability. The innovative design enables consumers to enjoy the best entertainment and productivity experience. The hp pavilion notebooks are available in the following series. They are dv8000 series, dv5000 series, dv2000 series and dv1000t.
