The Best of 2007. X-bit labs Readers' Choice Poll

The Best of 2007. X-bit labs Readers' Choice Poll

We are proud to announce that voting is open in our traditional annual poll, which allows you, our readers, to choose the best hardware manufacturers and computer solutions of the past year 2007.

As you may know, the line-up of hardware manufacturers changes every year. Market changes and so do the companies: some of them leave the computer hardware arena, some new companies emerge. But even though you may not see all the names on the list we are offering you today, I am sure that all of you agree: these are truly worthy candidates for your votes.

We included all the manufacturers we have been working with successfully over the past year into 12 categories. So, in the end 12 Readers’ Choice Awards will be handed out to the winners. However, no matter what the readers’ choice is going to be in the end of our December 2007 poll, we would like to wish all the participants good luck!

Please vote for your favorite companies and products and stand by for the results in early January!
