ECS Elite Group Liva Q2 Series Mini-PC Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

As you might imagine, despite this being a mini-PC, it’s not exactly a powerhouse in terms of performance. You do, however, have to put that qualification into the context of relative size. Remember, this is a mini-PC that’s probably about half the size of your smartphone. As such, despite being bottom on all our synthetic tests, there were two big positive factors to take from this.

Firstly, it happily ran 4 of our standard benchmarks tests. I know that sounds silly, but these PCs often don’t have the grunt to even do this! Secondly, the PCMark 10 Score (which rates a system on multitasking) is surprisingly good. With a result just slightly less than half of most laptops, the Liva Q2 is clearly designed to handle tasks you throw at it well.

Graphical benchmark tests were unfortunately not possible due to the system only having 1GB of memory for graphics.

The results in the chart might look that we included them to say how bad this system is. The truth, however, is quite the opposite. The point we want to put across to you is that despite its tiny, tiny, size, the Liva Q2 packs an impressive punch.
