The Compaq Deskpro was manufactured by Compaq as a line of business-oriented desktop computers until replaced by the Evo brand in 2001, with the latter being originally produced up until Compaq merged with HP in 2002, making it (alongside other models at the time) the last computers sold by Compaq prior to the 2002 merger. Models were produced containing microprocessors from the 8086 up to the x86-based Intel Pentium 4. Compaq later merged with Hewlett-Packard in 2002, and subsequently the company began producing computers under the HP ProDesk brand, a product line that is still in use.
