the Liva runs Intel's "Bay Trail-M" SoC, which allows a great deal of cost-cutting, and lets it make the Liva fan-less. A big metal-ridge heatsink cools the SoC. The compact system board has a great deal of onboard connectivity, including D-Sub and HDMI display outputs; gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 3.0, and stereo HD audio. The board comes with its own 2 GB of DDR3L onboard RAM, and 32 GB of eMMC storage. Measuring 118 mm x 70 mm x 56 mm, the Liva weighs in at 190 g. It's expected to be priced under $200.

USB 2.0 on modern products and motherboards (with exceptions to ones that already have 4+ USB 3.0) need to be eliminated.

not sure but win8 32 bit uses less than 1GB of ram

 

this is mainly for light weight work

Why? There are tons of peripherals out there that don't need the bandwidth of USB 3.0. Mice, keyboards, webcams, etc. I'm perfectly fine with USB 2.0 if the device also has USB 3.0

These things are awesome, I can't exactly think of a good use for them but I am sure there are plenty.

i wasn't even aware ECS was still around. I totally need to update myself. This I don't know where this is supposed to position itself, but it's clearly below the brix and above the raspberry pi. I just don't know of anybody who sees the brix pc and goes: "Hmm, yeah, that's too powerful and too expensive for what I'll need it, but i can't use the raspberry, I wish there was something for me..."

Um well, duh? If this even comes close to $200 I would laugh... All day.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I agree with that, but with the amount of time that USB 3.0 has been out, it's silly to still see USB 2.0 in my opinion; it's better to have the option to use bandwidth products than to not. Especially when 3.1 comes out and has its updated speed and voltage thing.

You say this even before saying anything about that hideous VGA port?
