Introduced in September 1993, the Presario family of computers went through a number of iterations over the years, which included several different design changes to the desktop and tower cases for each series of computers. In the mid-1990s, Compaq began manufacturing PC monitors under the Presario brand. A series of all-in-one units, containing both the PC and the monitor in the same case, were also released.
The Presario brand name would later be repurposed for a line of low-end home desktops and laptops made by Hewlett-Packard (HP) under the Compaq brand name after Compaq merged with HP in 2002, and was sold concurrently with HP’s other products such as the HP Pavilion. The Presario line of laptops also subsequently replaced the then-discontinued HP OmniBook line of business notebooks around that same year.
The Presario line of computers then continued on for a few more years until the Compaq brand name was discontinued by HP in 2013.
