ECS LIVA Q3D Mini-PC Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2023-04-15

The LIVA Q3D is a very interesting offering in a small package, allowing decent 4K media playback, browsing capabilities and office work, while using the latest Windows OS from Microsoft (W11 22H2). The 128GB of eMMC offers transfer rates like entry-level SATA SSDs but the main problem is the inclusion of only 4GB RAM which in some cases causes slowdowns as soon it gets filled and swapping occurs to the included storage. The use of lightweight versions of W11 may be recommended more here, such as Tiny11, because these were designed to run on system with as low as 2GB of RAM.

After unscrewing the fixing screws, we can easily remove the bottom area of the Mini PC:

The whole assembly consists of a two-PCB sandwich and on the bottom part we can clearly note the fan cable, but also the LAN card with the two WiFi antennas attached:

The ITE IT66318FN chip allows the LIVA Q3D to output HDMI 2.1 4K 60Hz:

A loon on the side does reveal the existence of a small heatsink to cool the Intel SoC, but also a small fan:

The other sides do reveal the connectors between the two sandwiched PCBs:
