Epic Fail

The time has come. After many weeks of shortlisting, then several days of intense debating, and often equally intense agreeing with each other, we’ve whittled down the 2023 releases into a tidy and thoroughly deserving set of finalists.

Behold below, are the products and companies we reckon are top of the pile. Maybe something’s here you already own – or are eyeing as a possible purchase. The expert reviewers at PC Gamer, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, APC and PC PowerPlay have made their decisions, and that might make yours easier when it comes to upgrading.

And stay tuned for the big winner’s announcement – that’ll be happening on March 15th. So stay tuned for all the excitement when that happens!

Our awards cover all the main categories that affect the PC, as well as our special awards:

Excellence Award: Presented to the person, product or technology that advanced the PC more than any other in 2023.

Gold Award: For the best overall company operating in the PC space for 2023. This list includes every one of the finalists across all the other categories – and has been carefully considered by our expert panel of judges.

And, in what is always the most contentious category, we present the standout failures of the year – and in the last 12 months there's been quite a few!
