Lots of features, apart from the game

The ECS LIVA Z5 Plus measures just 148 x 120 x 38mm (5.8 x 4.7 x 1.5″) and packs a Core i5-1335U, 16GB of unsoldered DDR4-3200 and a PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD. Using standard memory and storage means you can upgrade this little PC if you want, and since TechPowerUp saw no thermal throttling during its testing, that’s a doable proposition. You’re stuck with Xe graphics on the i5-1335U, so it’ll never play well, but maybe there will be an AMD-based version in the future.

Connectivity is just as efficient, with two 2.5 GbE ports in addition to Wi-Fi 6E AX211 2×2 and Bluetooth 5.3. The ECS LIVA Z5 Plus can also theoretically drive four displays, with two HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and USB-C to DP. To top it all off, there’s an audio jack and three USB 3.2 Type-A ports, making this LIVA more portable and versatile than most laptops today.
