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. Considered as Compaq's final flagship family prior to the 2002 merger, it replaced the Deskpro brand of desktops, the Armada brand of notebooks and the Professional Workstation line of workstations. It also replaced the HP OmniBook line of notebooks, the HP Vectra line of desktops and the HP Kayak brand of workstations following the 2002 merger, and in 2003, Evo was discontinued and rebranded as HP Compaq which was used until 2008 for laptops and 2012 for desktops and workstations. It is not to be confused with the later Intel Evo branding for performant laptops.
