Compaq ProLinea

Compaq · 1992

Compaq's price-war machine. Faced with mail-order clones undercutting it in 1992, Compaq built a deliberately cheap line and won the fight — this is the machine that took the company to number one and squeezed the smaller builders out. Ordinary hardware with a significant commercial story behind it.
