participate in our tournament and choose your favorite retro product

The Xataka NordVPN Awards 2025 They approach slowly, but without pause. In these awards we choose (and you choose) the best technology products, the best innovations of the present that underpin the future, the crème de la crème, Oh. But in this edition there will also be space to look to the past and fondly remember those products that marked our childhoods.

From Xataka we launch the Xataka Retro Award and we do it with a twist. It is not a new category in the Awards, but a tribute to the technology of yesteryear. Instead of the usual voting (xatakeros and jury vote for their favorite candidates through forms, here you have them all), this prize will be decided with a tournament through Instagram and Instagram Stories. So grab your PDAs, dust off your Walkman and look for your memory cards, there’s a real shot of nostalgia coming.

Duel of nostalgic titans

Over the next few days it will take place in the stories of the official profile of Xataka on Instagram the Xataka Retro Prize Tournament. Through the stories we will show the intersections of the products and you, our xatakeros, will have to choose your favorite products by voting in the polls.
