Liva - World's Smallest Mini-PC Kit

Last November 28, 2014, Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) had a press launching of LIVA at Mandaluyong City.  LIVA, the world’s smallest Windows-based mini-PC kit is now here in the Philippines. Offering all the features of much larger PCs plus the latest Microsoft Windows 8.1 support, the LIVA Mini-PC is a complete solution for modern digital living, general computing, flash-based casual gaming, and basic applications.

The word LIVA comes from the combination of “Living” and “Life (Viva)” and the spirit of living a better life. LIVA aims to express the passion and the pursuit of aesthetics in every way of life through this product. Perfect for home and office users with the comprehensive features, compact size, stylish design, and affordable price. LIVA is sleek, with wireless connectivity to cut down on messy cables.

LIVA is ideal as a capable entry-level PC for first time users, or as a second PC to complement a bigger desktop system, such as streaming, browsing, and downloading. It’s not necessary to always stick with your 15” desktop screen when LIVA can turn your 50” TV into a PC. LIVA makes a perfect media center for an attractive, quiet (completely noise free), compact and powerful home theater system, thanks to its audio, video and networking capabilities.

To achieve great performance with modern applications, Liva has these features for a pleasant user experience:

LIVA is so light and portable that you can carry your entire PC with you wherever you go, set it up in seconds, and just plug it into to any standard screen and keyboard, anywhere. You can also use a power bank to boot up Liva. How fast can you build a new PC? With the LIVA Mini PC Kit's screw-less design, users can easily assemble their own PC and have the hardware ready to go within 40 seconds. With a mSRP of around Php 8,000.00, the LIVA is sure to be a hit in the Philippine IT market.
