There's a lot of great features this Mini-PC from ECS can offer. Here are some that we find very interesting to take note of:

Dual independent display: You can connect two displays and output two different image/video simultaneously

LIVA mini pc kit supports dual independent displays

Fast storage: No need to computer about the RPM of your HDD. ECS LIVA mini PC takes advantage of integrated 32GB eMMC (embedded multi-media card) which is expected to have a faster response time than conventional hard-disk drives. At the same time it's small in size

Wireless profiles: Bluetooth and WiFi connections are already built-in, connect to your home network with ease w/o tangled network cables. Connect wireless devices such as keyboard, mouse, multimedia speakers to make an almost wireless environment where ever you are.

Initially only the 32GB LIVA is available, as the 64GB version to follow come January 2015. There's also a white version, which we want to put or first dibs on.
