Archival footage from November 2000 provides a look at the inventory of a CompUSA store in New York City. The display featured Sony VAIO C1 PictureBook subnotebooks equipped with a 600 MHz Transmeta Crusoe TM5600 processor, 128MB of SDRAM, and a 12GB HDD.
Other portable devices included laptops featuring an Intel Pentium III 700 MHz CPU and 20GB HDD. Desktop offerings were dominated by Compaq Presario models, including the 5WV294 unit powered by an AMD Athlon 1.0 GHz processor with 128MB of RAM and a 30–40GB HDD.
The store showcased high-end Apple hardware, specifically the Power Macintosh G4 Dual 500 with twin 500 MHz processors and a 16MB video card, priced at $3,500. A 21-inch ViewSonic A110 monitor was also available for $750.
The retail chain CompUSA faced significant competition from online retailers and large-format stores. Following management challenges, the company began mass closures in 2007 and 2008, with the brand being fully retired in 2012.
