From the ECS website:

Founded in 1987, ECS, the Elitegroup Computer Systems, is a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of several families of computer products in the industry. With almost 30 years of experience, ECS not only produces high-quality products such as motherboards, desktops, notebook computers, graphics cards and other mobile products, but also provides customized computer programming and hardware/ software design service for a wide variety of customers.

ECS is strongly committed to develop cutting-edge technology in order to generate innovative products under environmental friendly designs. ECS comprehensive system of quality control provides our clients with reassurance and fosters long term cooperation.

Formed all the way back in 1987 as Elitegroup Computer Systems, ECS has become an industry-leading OEM that just so happens to extensively moonlight in the consumer market, offering mini-PCs, laptops, graphics cards, motherboards, tablets, and IoT devices. Even if you have never purchased an ECS branded product, you have likely used or owned one that was manufactured by them. ECS continues to be on a path of further diversification, which means it comes as no surprise that they continue to release more products that fall into the Internet of things category as it is still a growing market.

In today's review, I focus on the ECS LIVA Q; while similar to the LIVA Z, this offering comes in an even smaller form factor. Utilizing an Intel Celeron N3350 with 32 GB of eMMC storage, it is full of features in a tiny package. That said, let's take a closer look and see what the LIVA Q is all about!
