Intel Evo, officially the Intel Evo Platform, is a brand category of certified laptop computers, consisting of a number of guidelines to ensure good quality for consumers. Laptops with Intel 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 as Project Athena announced in 2019. Rather than using typical benchmarking, 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 (alongside Tiger Lake) with updated guidelines.[1]

It has been compared with Intel's Ultrabook.[3][4] The Evo certification consists of both Microsoft Windows and ChromeOS based devices (the latter of which includes "Chromebooks").[5] Many PC manufacturers have joined Intel's program, including Lenovo, HP, Dell and Asus.[6]
