COMPAQ LTE ELITE PROMOTION EXTENDED THROUGH YEAR-END

HOUSTON, June 27, 1995 -- Continuing its efforts to provide superb value to
customers and to gain market share in the PC portables arena, Compaq
Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ) today announced the extension of its
Compaq SmartStation value promotion -- a $700 value -- (NOTE 1) through
December 31, 1995, or while supplies last.

Initially announced in January and extended in April due to its excellent
customer response, the promotion now includes three models: the Compaq LTE
Elite 4/50CX, Model 340; and the LTE Elite 4/75CX, Models 340 and 510.
With the purchase of any of these notebook computers through December 31
(NOTE 2), customers receive the SmartStation expansion base option
free-of-charge.

Our customers enjoy the convenience of having a portable PC with the
desktop expansion base option, said Ross Cooley, senior vice president and
general manager, North America. The outstanding response to this promotion
clearly illustrates and underscores the value proposition we offer with
our flagship portables.

The Compaq LTE Elite offers customers a wide range of features, options and
portability for today's mobile professional. In addition to its superb
power and convenience, it provides customers with the lowest total
carrying weight of any notebook computer in its category. The LTE Elite
features the industry's first built-in AC adapter in a power notebook
which eliminates the cumbersome AC adapter brick and cables necessary for
mobile users.

The Compaq SmartStation delivers to customers full-function desktop
capabilities, including built-in Ethernet and SCSI connections, two
full-sized ISA slots, two half-height drive bays, 1024x768 video support,
and a built-in spare battery charger all-in-one unit, as well as the
ultimate in Plug and Play convenience. The SmartStation's functionality
lets users dock their notebook even while turned on, and its VCR-style
motorized latching mechanism assures fast, secure docking. Should the user
try to undock the notebook while applications are open, sensors send an
alert to prevent data loss.
