Compaq Evo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Compaq Evo was a series of business desktop and laptop PCs made by Compaq and Hewlett-Packard (following the 2002 merger).

The Evo brand was introduced by Compaq in May 2001 as a business-oriented brand, and replaced Compaq's Deskpro brand for desktops and Armada for its notebooks. [1]

The laptops were a conservative design, described by one reviewer[2] 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. It offered 256 MB RAM as standard but that amount can be easily upgraded to 512 MB or even 1 GB, which puts it in line with modern laptops.

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