The Compaq Evo is a series of business PCs (desktop and laptop) and thin clients made by Compaq and then Hewlett-Packard following the 2002 merger. The Evo brand was introduced by Compaq in May 2001 as a business-oriented brand. It replaced the Deskpro brand of desktops and the Armada brand of notebooks. Evo was rebranded as HP Compaq which was used until 2008. It is not to be confused with the later Intel Evo branding for performant laptops.

Design

Compaq Evo N800v

The Desktops were small and made to be positioned horizontally instead of vertically so that the monitor could be placed on top to save space. Most featured a sleek silver and black compact design. The early models were shipped with CD-ROM drives but Compaq shipped Evos with CD-RW drives and DVD-ROM drives. The design of some models were only allowed for one CD or DVD drive, but some models had bigger designs for 2 CD or DVD drives. Some models also shipped with a 3½ floppy drive, positioned below the CD or DVD drive. Most models also had 2 USB 2.0 ports in the front for convenience as well as having two in the back for human interface devices and external volumes. Most also had a headphone and microphone jack in the front with a line in and line out in the back.

The laptops were a conservative design, described by one reviewer as "The old-school black, squared-off-corner business notebook". Most models had a tough black case reminiscent of IBM's ThinkPad, a midsize 14" or 15" screen and good multimedia capability.

Most desktops and some laptops were shipped with Pentium 4 processors and some Laptops were shipped with Centrino platforms. The thin clients were based on the Geode processor family.

Distribution

The Compaq Evo was a great option for businesses and schools because of its compact and cheap design, as well as having specs suitable for these specific markets. All Compaq Evo computers came shipped with either Windows 2000 or Windows XP preinstalled.

The last Evo-branded models were released in 2003, and later replaced by re-branded (like other Compaq-branded products) HP Compaq products.
