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 ...
On the flip side, the LIVA kit does have aspects that can be fixed by ECS. One of our major peeves was the positioning of the two USB ports. The placement between the micro-USB power inlet and the HDMI port makes it very difficult to utilize the USB ports...
Small form factor, Energy efficient, Stable operation, Cool running, three USB ports, Silent
No Operating System
The ECS LIVA X surprised me with its small size and completely silent operation. I was able to surf the internet and do work on it very quickly. I enjoyed using it and experienced no problems with browsing the internet, using Office applications, or watch...

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...
Affordable as work PC, Small and compact size, Noiseless operation
Awkward placements of USB ports, Limited numbers of USB Ports, Only fo
It may not be the PC for gamers or heavy productivity scenarios. But for normal daily performance and work – it is more than enough. Plus, it is silent and cool running too.(previously published in issue March 2015)...
The ECS LIVA Mini PC Kit retails at RM 699 for the 32GB variant, so expect the price to be a little for the 64GB variant. 32GB space is just enough for people who don't hog space, alternative going Linux for OS might be a good idea. As a computer, the ...
