In Awards by Andrzej Bania

Across Europe, the member publications of the EHA have more then 20 million readers. They represent enthusiasts, gamers, early adopters and influencers – and they are always looking to get the best performance and quality possible – at an affordable price.

For Independent, expert buying advice, they read EHA publications. Alongside unbiased, in-depth technical analysis, they also get access to the latest news and opinions that they know they can trust. With an average spend of €1,500 a year on PC-related technology each, the EHA audience represents an annual market of close to €30 billion.
