EHA2018

Asa cum stiti, LAB501 nu acorda premii, medalii sau diverse distinctii produselor testate. Parerea noastra este exprimata destul de clar in review-uri si nu am simtit niciodata nevoia sa ne vedem logo-ul intre alte sute de logo-uri care “recomanda” produsul respectiv. Totusi, pentru ca Europa merita o voce proprie in aceasta industrie, iar produsele remarcabile trebuie marcate cumva, am infiintat alaturi de alte 8 site-uri reprezentative in tarile in care activeaza European Hardware Association, un organism al carui scop este recompensarea celor mai interesante / performante / inovatoare produse cu o distinctie pe masura, mai precis European Hardware Awards.

Astazi ne face o deosebita placere sa anuntam finalistii European Hardware Awards 2018.

Peste 100 de redactori din 9 tari au propus cele mai bune produse pentru European Hardware Awards 2018, iar rezultatele au fost centralizate in lista de mai jos. Astazi suntem gata sa anuntam finalistii celui mai mare eveniment de acest gen organizat vreodata.

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), Sweclockers (Suedia), 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. In urma acestui proces, astazi anuntam finalistii EHA2018, adica produsele dintre care membrii EHA vor vota cel mai bun produs per categorie in urmatoarea luna.

Astazi incepe procesul de votare in cele 42 de categorii, proces prin care vom desemna cele mai bune produse ale anului 2018. Castigatorii vor fi anuntati in cadrul ceremoniei organizate de EHA in Taipei, Taiwan, pe data de 4 Iunie, 19:00 ora locala. Ceremonia EHA2018 va avea loc la etajul 11 al exclusivistului hotel W Taipei iar participantii sunt rugati sa isi rezerve locul din timp. Romania va fi reprezentata in cadrul EHA2018 de catre subsemnatul, Tudor “Monstru” Badica. Pe data de 4 Iunie voi fi prezent la fata locului pentru a decerna premiile alaturi de colegii din European Hardware Association.

Mai jos puteti consulta lista finalistilor EHA2018, din care vom alege castigatorii in urmatoarea luna.
