A Closer Look
The top features a slight texture that essentially consists of concentric circles of smooth and slightly rough surfaces. To break up the blacks, there's a "LIVA" in a bright white and with a yellow-orange ring around it, which draws one's attention. Moving to the front, users will find three USB 3.0 Type A ports and a single USB 3.0 Type C port. An audio jack and the power button are also present on the front. Finally, there is the back with two GbE LAN ports, an HDMI 1.4 port, and a mini DisplayPort. The power plug is also located here.
Both sides feature vents to allow for some airflow to the passive heatsink. Meanwhile, on the bottom, two screw holes for the VESA mounting hardware can bee seen, as well as the four screws that need to be removed to remove the plastic shroud. Overall, the external build quality feels solid, with a few alignment issues due to my poking around inside.
