[Editor's Note:We're posting this again just to make sure everyone's voice is heard. Thank you to the thousands who have already voted! We'll be closing up the voting on November 23rd. Also note that our sister site, Tom's Guide, is doing the same, and we've added links to those categories further below.]
Over the course of 2014, as with previous years, Tom’s Hardware has reviewed hundreds of products. We take pride in how reserved we are with award recognition, but we still manage to hand out a few to the best products in class. From our prestigious Tom’s Hardware Elite status, to the price-for-performance Smart Buy awards, and even those quality products that have received the Tom’s Hardware Approved award, we don't arrive at our choices lightly.
Now, the choice is yours.
It’s the time of year again when we kick off our second annual Tom’s Hardware Readers’ Choice Awards, selected by you, our most vocal and attentive fans, biggest critics, enthusiast builders and loyal readers. We want your help in recognizing the best of the best.
We acknowledge that over the course of a year, many changes in technology can occur, and so we try to keep our lists and picks updated. While we believe the initial products populating each categorical list are relevant and worthy of your consideration, we’re also giving you the power to add products to the list if we missed any. As with last year, we realize that we are leaving out an entire month’s worth of potentially game-changing hardware, so December 2014 will count toward our 2015 awards.
The categories this year include those where we've done the bulk of our testing and review work: Cases, Motherboards, Storage, Graphics, CPUs, and Displays. Please see below for links to each of the Reader’s Choice threads hosted in our community, and dive right in. We’ll pull the best-ranked product from each category at the conclusion of the voting and showcase it in a feature piece announcing the results. We've also included a few links to some resources that might help jog your memory in the categories below.
