European Hardware Community Awards 2015

In Awards by Andrzej Bania

In November 2016, readers across Europe began nominating their favourite hardware – creating a little piece of history with the very first European Hardware Community Awards. The nominated products from across all EHA members formed the basis of the final vote and the winners were announced in January.

Across 40 categories, a huge number of votes were cast, counted and carefully checked.

From processors to smartphones, from graphic cards to routers – the winners of this survey really stood out from the crowd for the people who matter most: Our readers.

Here are the winners in each category.
