I feel like HP made a tactical error by eliminating the Compaq brand for their garbage products. It feels like car companies have the right idea - Toyata/Lexus, Honda/Acura, Chevy/Buick, and so on. If HP had used Compaq for their low-end cheap products, they might not have reaped as much profit in that space as the HP brand got them, but the HP name might still mean something. Now the HP brand is worthless.
