ECS LIVA Z3 PLUS (Intel i5-10210U)

crazyeyesreaper · Aug 25, 2020

With the LIVA Z3 Plus, ECS looks to push the boundaries of what you can expect from its lineup of ultra-small form factor systems. Highly efficient, semi-upgradeable, and with enough I/O to fit most needs, it is quite a compelling system with support for Amazon Alexa, but it needs a few upgrades to truly shine.

4GB RAM? I hope you like disk thrashing.

Of course lol

Thrashing does not require HDD, difference with SSD is that performance drop is a bit less drastic and it's not audible.

They should of put an Ryzen in it. People would of been killing each other just to get one.

This is basically a laptop without display, in a box.

ECS still (unsuccessfully) trying to get the miniPC right.

The ECS LIVA Z3 Plus as reviewed can be found at retail for $555.99

Not the best choice of words when you have just reviewed two configurations.
