There’s something to be said for a desktop PC that doesn’t take over the top of your desk. Just in time for CES this year, ECS is introducing two new Liva mini-PCs. These tiny barebones PCs pack Intel processors into kits that can purportedly handle 4K video and light gaming in the right configuration.
The showcase model is the updated Liva Z Plus , a machine that ECS plans to debut at CES. Powered by Intel’s latest Kaby Lake processors , the Liva Z Plus packs a good amount of muscle into a diminutive frame. The company’s internal numbers indicate that Kaby Lake gives the Liva Z Plus about 11% more performance than its previous Skylake-powered models.
