Intel Evo, officially theIntel Evo Platform, is a brand category of certifiedlaptop computers, consisting of a number of guidelines to ensure good quality for consumers. Laptops withIntel processors can be certified under the Intel Evo badge if they pass the guidelines which include thin hardware designs, long-lasting battery life,[1] fast charging, speedy wake up from sleep, and more.[2]
The program originally started asProject Athena announced in 2019. Rather than using typicalbenchmarking, Athena aimed to focus on "Key Experience Indicators", or the use experience in real-world use.[2] It was renamed to the more friendly name Intel Evo and launched in September 2020 (alongsideTiger Lake) with updated guidelines.[1]
