The editors didn't like

  • Underpowered as a Windows PC
  • Only two USB ports makes an external hub a requirement
  • 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
  • Slightly underpowered
  • Not enough storage
  • Ships with Windows10
  • But requires updating before being put to use
  • Unit can be fairly warm to the touch
  • But is so in exchange for silence
  • Limited expansion capabilities
  • High price
  • The box isn't as attractive after accounting for the cost of Windows
  • Seeing its limited HTPC potential and experiencing its questionable reliablity.

  • The ECS Liva is a great addition to the mini PC genre. It doesn't win any performance crowns or beat any rivals with larger than life specifications but it can run Windows and can be used to browse the internet, watch movies and even play some old or lo...

  • s, No posee soporte para montaje VESA, No es posible ampliar la memoria Ram, Algún puerto USB adicional seria bien recibido.
  • No posee soporte para montaje VESA.
  • Que se trata de un producto realmente novedoso no caben dudas, no ha pasado nadie por el laboratorio de pruebas sin mostrarse asombrado y preguntar mas de una vez, “esto es toda la computadora?”, por supuesto que sale del molde de lo que se puede conocer...

  • Consumo realmente reducido, Tamaño muy discreto, Ruido nulo, Dispone de un USB 3.0, Temperaturas muy estables, Hardware preparado y listo para funcionar (no hay que montar piezas adicionales)
  • Rendimiento limitado, aunque suficiente, Conectividad algo limitada
  • El ECS Liva es una máquina muy sencilla en todos los aspectos, como hemos podido ver. Las principales ventajas de la misma resultan bastante obvias: un diseño tan pequeño como práctico, disipación pasiva que genera un ruido 0, uso recomendado para HTPC o ...

  • Fácil de armar y desarmar en tan solo 40 segundos, Sumamente pequeña haciéndola fácil de transportar, Memoria RAM de 2GB y eMMC de 32GB a bordo para instalar el sistema operativo, Posibilidad de ser usada con un powerbank, Conectividad inalámbrica 802
  • De momento no hay soporte nativo para el sistema operativo Windows 7 ni para Linux.
  • El producto en definitiva es sumamente interesante ya que es una mini PC sumamente facil de armar, transportar y sin generación de ruido, sumamente practica para poder utilizarla para tareas cotidianas como navegar por internet, youtube, facebook o tambi...

  • Format ultra compact, Rapport performances prix
  • Boitier vraiment simpliste
  • Le mini PC ECS Liva a tout pour plaire ou presque. Cette machine nous a très largement convaincu sur de nombreux aspects. Ses dimensions ultra minimalistes lui permettent une intégration dans n'importe quel environnement. L'ECS Liva sera probablement le ...

  • ECS LIVA è straconsigliata per nerdaggini varie con Linux, ma non è nemmeno da sottovalutare il suo funzionamento sotto Windows. Considerato prezzo, formato e silenziosità, è un esperimento riuscito. Ora ECS deve approfittare delle ottime recensioni rice...

  • Ausreichend schnell für den Alltag, Komplett lautlos
  • Wenige Anschlüsse, Geringer Speicher, Videostreaming nur in SD-Qualität möglich, In der Praxis
  • Mit einer Leistungsaufnahme von gerade einmal 12,6 Watt unter Volllast zählt die ECS LIVA zu den stromsparendsten Mini-PCs, die der Markt aktuell hergibt. Dies erkauft man sich jedoch durch eine nicht ganz so hohe Leistung. An die Performance aktueller ...
