ECS Liva Q Pocket Size PC review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/06/2018 10:20 AM [ 12 comment(s) ]

Small, smaller, smallest and then some. ECS now offers their new and tiny Liva Q. A low power PC that is so small that you can mount this fully fetched Windows 10 Ready PC behind your monitor, heck it will even fit in the palm of your hands. A PC that comes with a Gigabit Ethernet jack, AC WIFI and Bluetooth USB3, HDMI and a Micro SD slot for some more storage.

So is it able to run 4k@60fps clips on youtube smoothly?
Cause with limited space, I can only see this being used for streaming videos online.

UHD contact playback is not an issue as long as the video processor can accelerate it. So whether that is coming from internal storage or streaming, is not relevant.
Internal storage, however, remains limited in volume size, a MicroSD card can be used. Alternatively, an external USB stick or drive would do the job as well I guess. But for somebody with a NAS & WIFI, this works the best with good AC wifi.

All right. Looks like this is actually better streaming solution than cheap raspberry pi.

I think I remember right that you can buy a keyboard & mouse operating from a single wireless dongle so that would save one of the USB's

I use a similar mini-pc for my 32 ft trailer entertainment. I create a weeks worth of playlists of movies and TV shows and then stream to my 2 TVs.
