Small and stylish, Smart external design with ports on the front and rear panels, Fanless, Practically nonexistent power draw
Not powerful enough for use on a daily basis, Very hard to access the spare M.2 slot, Minimal performance increase over the LIVA X, 32GB eMMC storage is very inconvenient.
The ECS LIVA X2 mini PC is somewhat of an oddball.While it certainly looks good – softer and less ‘box-like' than its predecessor the LIVA X, its internal design is lacking. The only empty expansion slot in the whole system is an M.2 on the underside of t...

The ECS LIVA X2 Mini-PC feels like a slightly refined version of the older ECS LIVA X that came out at the beginning of the year. General CPU performance is close to the same, but it has much better graphics performance and power efficiency. If you are wo...

Better than expected HTPC performance, Fanless design provides silent operation, Ultralow power consumption, Includes VESA mount
Dualcore Braswell SoC underpowered for desktop use, eMMC storage performance
The LIVA is a really cool idea: a full system, complete with memory and storage, ready to use out of the box with a preinstalled OS. And the LIVAs all sip power - under 10W at full load. For lightweight workloads there are a lot of possibilities for this...
