EHA2023

Au trecut 9 ani de cand puneam bazele European Hardware Association, 9 ani in care am premiat cele mai interesante produse in cadrul European Hardware Awards (EHA), dar si cele mai populare produse votate de catre cititori, in cadrul European Hardware Community Awards (EHCA). Si nici prin ruptul capului nu mi-as fi imaginat in acel moment ca vom ajunge sa organizam doua gale pe an, una in Taipei (EHA) si una in Berlin (EHCA), care vor strange la un loc cele mai importante brand-uri din domeniu.

Anii au trecut, iar evenimentele organizate de EHA au devenit o prezenta binecunoscuta pentru producatori, acestia asteptand cu nerabdare in fiecare an verdictul celor 9 site-uri membre, dar si parerea cititorilor. Desigur, cu totii am trecut prin momente care par ireale astazi, cum ar fi pandemia si imposibilitatea de a calatori, dar chiar si in acest ani am fost prezenti online, iar lucrurile par ca au revenit in sfarsit la normal.

Drept urmare, astazi ne face o deosebita placere sa anuntam finalistii European Hardware Awards 2023 (EHA2023). Peste 100 de redactori din 9 tari au propus cele mai bune produse pentru European Hardware Awards 2023, iar rezultatele au fost centralizate in lista de mai jos.

Cu o baza de peste 22 de milioane de cititori in intreaga Europa, European Hardware Association este alcatuita din 9 site-uri, mai precis LAB501 (Romania), ioTech (Finlanda), PurePC (Polonia), Hardware.Info (Olanda), CowCotLand (Franta), Geeknetic (Spania), KitGuru (Marea Britanie), Hardware Upgrade (Italia) si Hardwareluxx (Germania). Editorii EHA propun in fiecare primavara lista de nominalizari, iar acestea sunt votate de catre toate site-urile participante.

Astazi incepe procesul de votare in cele 48 de categorii, proces prin care vom desemna cele mai bune produse ale anului 2023. Si pentru prima oara dupa 3 ani in care ceremonia a fost organizata online, echipa EHA revine la fata locului, in Taipei, Taiwan, decernarea premiilor EHA2023 avand loc in cadrul prestigiosului W Hotel, pe 29 Mai 2023. Intreaga echipa LAB501 va fi prezenta la fata locului, pentru reprezenta Romania si pentru a sarbatori cum se cuvine aceasta ocazie speciala.

Mai jos puteti consulta lista finalistilor EHA2023, din care vom alege castigatorii in urmatoarea luna. Procedura prin care alegem finalistii poate fi consultata aici. Iar pe data de 29 Mai, vom anunta castigatorii celei de-a 8-a editii European Hardware Awards!
