Categories announced for the EHA Awards 2025 in Taipei

Matthew Wilson March 14, 2025 Annual Awards, Event

On 19 May 2025, the prestigious European Hardware Awards will once again – to honour the best hardware available in the market. The event takes place on the eve of Computex in Taipei, at the Courtyard by Marriott, Nangang hotel. As well as the awards themselves, brand new research about the market will also be presented for the first time, giving a much clearer insight into how the market is likely to change over the next 12-18 months.

KitGuru is a proud member of the European Hardware Association (EHA), the organisation behind the EHA Awards – the largest of their kind in the world.

Alongside KitGuru, the association includes Geeknetic (Spain), Hardware Upgrade (Italy), Cowcotland (France), Hardwareluxx (Germany), ioTech (Finland), TechnologyInsider (Netherlands), Lab501 (Romania), and PurePC (Poland).

Right now, all of the publications are working on their own list of nominees for this year's awards. Those nominations are based on thousands of tests performed by each publication over the last year. Once the nomination process has completed, the real voting will begin and the finalists will be published.
