EHA Awards 2024 – Finalists announced!

Over a hundred of the world's leading technology journalists have been analysing all the hardware products that have been through our various labs, deciding on which are the best products in the market for 2024. On Monday, 3rd June 2024, the 10th edition of the European Hardware Awards will be unveiled at the Marriott Hotel in Nangang, Taipei – with the winners being announced alongside the results of some very special research. Today, we are revealing the finalists that are being considered for an EHA Award!

No other editorial survey rivals the European Hardware Association's comprehensive approach in identifying the top-tier products. Marking its tenth anniversary, the EHA Awards 2024 ceremony is set to be an exceptional occasion.

The EHA Awards' success is built upon the foundation of countless individual tests conducted over more than two decades. The collective effort of the nine publications that constitute the European Hardware Association, taps into an audience exceeding 20 million PC technology enthusiasts who trust us for unbiased, expert buying advice.

After considering thousands of products, the selection has been narrowed down to the elite nominees.
