ECS (EliteGroup) LIVA Z Plus Mini PC i5-7200U 32GB 512GB NVMe DDR4 Windows 10 Pro

ECS LIVA Z Plus Mini PC

The ECS LIVA Z Plus is a compact desktop computer built around a 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7200U dual-core processor running at 2.70 GHz with 3.10 GHz turbo and 3 MB Smart Cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory, a 512 GB NVMe SSD and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 drives video output through HDMI and mini DisplayPort.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This mini PC suits users who need a small, quiet system for office productivity, web browsing or media playback with dual-display support via HDMI and mini DisplayPort. Buyers who want a discrete graphics card for gaming or 3D rendering should look elsewhere. Those who require internal 2.5-inch drive bays or PCIe expansion slots will not find them here. The 65 W power supply limits sustained high-load performance.

The specification that decides fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the soldered Intel Core i5-7200U processor; it cannot be upgraded, so the system’s compute ceiling is fixed at two cores and four threads with Intel HD 620 graphics.
