Compaq, the formerly popular computer manufacturer that was purchased by HP in 2002, is starting to make a resurgence. HP revealed that it plans to release a new line of desktops and laptops that will bear the Compaq name. The computers will be targeted at those users with very tight budgets, as evidenced by the CQ61z. The 15 inch laptop will feature an AMD Sempron processor and run Windows 7. However, the laptop will cost only $400, putting it in direct competition with less powerful netbooks. In addition, a desktop system will be available for as little as $309 after rebate. The systems will be available on October 22, and could shake up the pricing in the computer industry.
