The European Hardware Awards is an annual selection of the very best hardware available in the European market and its inaugural presentation will take place one day before Computex 2016 starts officially.

The awards are chosen by a panel of experts, known as the European Hardware Association.

The European Hardware Association was founded by a group of the largest and most influential independent hardware review sites across the European region. Each member has a massive local audience, strong focus on hardware and an adherence to scientific testing & objective analysis.

The founder members include Hardware.Info (The Netherlands), KitGuru (United Kingdom), Hardwareluxx (Germany), Cowcotland (France), Hardware Upgrade (Italy), Hispazone (Spain), Sweclockers (Sweden),
PurePC.pl (Poland) and Lab 501 (Romania).

Together, these sites:

• Host over 22 million visits a month
• Attract almost half a million followers on Facebook
• Offer a database of more than 100,000 articles
• Have completed millions of individual, scientific tests on hardware going back many years

The European Hardware Association has unparalleled knowledge of the IT market and is uniquely positioned to nominate and present the European Hardware Awards.

The European Hardware Association members are committed to establishing these awards as the premium recognition for exceptional hardware being sold in the European Union – something that consumers across the region will come to look for as a marque of trust.

The extensive evaluation and voting process takes place throughout May, with the winners being announced during a special presentation in room 201DE on 2F of the Taipei International Convention centre (TICC) at 5pm on 30th May 2016.
