Nominations for the European Hardware Awards 2017 have now been finalised. Each product has been nominated by one of the 9 publications that make up the European Hardware Association. Voting has already started and the winners will be announced on the eve of Computex 2017 in Taipei. If you had to pick the best hardware on sale in Europe today – would your list match ours?
With more than 100 editors working in 9 languages, the combination of publications that have come together to form the European Hardware Association (EHA) form a unique group. KitGuru was a founder member and the group now has more than 22 million readers from across the globe.
At the start of April 2017, the EHA began collecting nominations from all of our editors – and the final list has now been approved, so the voting can begin.
This year we have 41 categories (more than ever before) and many new companies are being considered for the first time.
