At exactly 2.00pm yesterday (16 March 2001), Hardware Zone had its first annual
Hardware Zone Awards. This inaugural event marks a significant milestone for
Hardware Zone as it strives to bring recognition to I.T. product manufacturers
and at the same time, promote excellence in product quality, design and performance. The ceremony was held at The Mandarin Singapore attended by product manufacturers, distributors and some SLS vendors too.



The awards started with a month long campaign at the end of last year with
Hardware Zone members nominating products which they think should deserve an
award. The nominations were consolidated and five of the most popular
products nominated in each category were picked as the final nominees. With the finalists in hand, we invited
manufacturers to send these products to HWZ's Reviews Lab for a final round of testing. Over a period of less than two months, the editorial team at Hardware Zone
have worked hard, day and night (sometimes skipping lunch and dinner), running extensive tests on more than 120 unique products.



We were very impressed with the choices the community made during the month
long nominations as these products fared very well in all the tests thrown at
them. In fact, it was really tough making the final decision as each of these
products had very good features, performance and most importantly, value.



The event began with Jackie, our Chairman and CEO, making a welcome speech
which was then followed by a keynote address by Ms. Christina Teo, the General
Manager of YAHOO! Asia.
