Insanely low power consumption, Tiny form factor, Easy to assemble,
Only 2 USB Ports, Not VESA mountable, Not expandable, Neutral, No OS, Fair value for price point – though could easily be tweaked for better value, Alpenföhn Brocken Eco CPU cooler, Thank, you, ECS, for providing us with this information,
PricingWith the 32GB black version retailing for $165 and the white at $185 you certainly do get good value for money. Stock is a little tricky in the UK, but there are some resellers with prices around £200. I would wholeheartedly recommend spending the...
So, how do you test such a low powered system? Well I found the best thing to do was to simply use it. The main question though, is how well does it work and is it good value? Well as I wrote the entirety of this review on the Mini PC Kit (though I did d...

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...
