The “Evo” epithet is only a new marketing branding reserved to somewhat full-featured laptops having the latest technologies.
The “Evo” branding uses a “regular” i7 processor and adds top-tier peripherals.
Nothing to worry wrt compatibility issues, to the contrary, you will have a fairly future-proof laptop for many years.
Note however that “Evo” usually means it’s an Ultrabook, not a laptop per se.
An Ultrabook is (usually again) a thinner, liter laptop that is great to travel with, but often has a smaller screen, and smaller fans… smaller fans also often means noisier fans under heavy loads. This may or may not be problematic for your usage, just keep that in mind when selecting your laptop/ultrabook.
Note that with a modern i7 rig, it’s relatively easy to keep it running cool at minimum fan speed during basic recording sessions, so the fan size may not be an issue after all.
(a moot point, or mute point in this case…)
