The ECS LIVA One provided us with the opportunity to evaluate Skylake in a mini-PC configuration. Small form factor PCs that can be VESA-mounted on the back of a display are understandably popular, and the LIVA class of products from ECS caters to this ma...

The most impressive thing about the ECS LIVA is its compact size. When I first looked at the box, I expected a larger device, but this Mini PC lives up to its name. The unit is tiny, light weight, and very well built. It's definitely the smallest Windows ...
The ECS LIVA 64GB mini PC is designed to be above all cheap and at just $185 there is no questioning its affordability. Still what is the purpose of this cheap PC, who is it designed for? ECS say its fanless design and low power consumption make it an ide...

The Liva occupies little space and
The box isn't as attractive after accounting for the cost of Windows, seeing its limited HTPC potential and experiencing its questionable reliablity.
Above all, ECS designed the Liva 64GB to be inexpensive and at just $185 there is no questioning its affordability -- but who is meant to buy it? ECS says the Liva's fanless, low power design makes it an ideal HTPC and while it can handle 1080p content, t...

Incredibly tiny, Silent, Ultra low power (runs off a microUSB adapter!), Good connectivity (HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, USB 3.0 and 2.0, 3.5mm audio), Wireless card included, Audio over HDMI makes HTPC application simple
Underpowered as a Windows PC, Only two USB ports makes an external hub a requirement
The LIVA is a very good product for both its size and price. The economy of a PC that can be found for less than $180 - and capable of running real desktop apps - makes an AM1 build seem almost expensive in comparison, but there's a reason that the LIVA o...

The mini PC kit ECS has offered is shipped in a DIY format, which is quite unique for this market and by assembling it, people will learn a bit regarding its internal components. Customers should pay a little bit of attention when installing the WiFi/Blue...
Very easy to build, Excellent power saving device, Super quiet in fact it's completely dead silent, Dual Monitor support using Intel HD Graphics on the CPU, Could be great backup computer for long power outage with a working LAN connection and cell phon
32GB of Memory is way too little to work with; 90GB would be a great start, Passive heatsink lets processor get hot, Limited USB ports, Comes with a DVD that is useless unless you have another computer or a portable USB DVD drive
It's really hard to believe that you are using a silent little box with a green light on it to do and run all that you can do on this computer. It's as good as many laptops with a desktop feeling. I know the test results put it dead last but it really do...
The ECS LIVA MINI PC Kit is a first generation product and with all first generation products there are issues that need to be worked out. The LIVA isn't a bad product by any means, but there are several things we aren't a fan of. More importantly we are ...
