The Companies and Products Nominated for the EHA Awards 2026
More than 100 of the world's most esteemed technology editors and reviewers are casting their votes for the 12th edition of the European Hardware Awards. The result? A definitive list of the best hardware currently available, chosen by experts who live and breathe PC technology.
On Monday, June 1, 2026, the winners of this year's awards will be unveiled at a special event hosted at the Courtyard by Marriott in Nangang, Taipei, conveniently located for those preparing to exhibit at Computex the next day. This year, our editorial teams have examined 61 categories and selected 455 products from 117 manufacturers.
In addition to the actual awards, the EHA will also present the results of a pan-European survey on hardware buying intentions. No other editorial survey matches the scope or depth of analysis of this report, whose highlights will be shared with attendees. If you wish to participate, you can do so on this page.
With a foundation built on tens of thousands of detailed and independent reviews (dating back over two decades with some EHA publications), our Awards are uniquely positioned to recognize authentic innovation, lasting quality, and products that have had the greatest impact on enthusiasts and professionals.
If you represent a technology brand or work in the tech sector and are attending Computex, you cannot miss the hardware event of the year. Register for free here to attend the European Hardware Awards 2025 gala ceremony in person.
This year’s ceremony marks 12 years since the first edition of the European Hardware Awards, and the process has never been more rigorous. Each nomination is the result of thorough testing and hands-on analysis conducted by the editorial teams of the nine member publications of the EHA, which collectively reach an audience of over 20 million readers across the continent, including Technology Insider (NL), HardwareLuxx (DE), Hardware Upgrade (IT), Geeknetic (ES), Lap501 (R), Pure PC (PO), CowCotLand (FR), IO-Tech (FI), and KitGuru (UK).
This vast audience includes PC builders, content creators, gamers, professionals, and other early adopters who rely on our insights month after month to make informed purchasing decisions. The value of purchase decisions influenced by the EHA amounts to over 30 billion euros each year.
Retailers, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and the press are all invited to join us in Taipei for this exclusive celebration. Complimentary tickets can be purchased via this link. The categories have slightly evolved over time to reflect new technologies and emerging trends, but the core voting process remains unchanged: fair, thorough, and editorially independent. Products must be available in Europe, and final votes are cast only after detailed analysis and group discussion within each EHA member venue.
After reviewing thousands of hardware options over the past 12 months, we have narrowed down the field to this year's finalists: the best of the best.
As we reveal this year’s finalists below, we would like to remind all brands and manufacturers whose products are listed below that corrections regarding products and brands can be submitted to any EHA representative. The deadline for submitting corrections is May 5, 2026.
The final voting is currently underway, and the winners will be announced live during the ceremony in Taipei.
