Liva Z3(E) Plus - Product Review
The LIVA Z3 Plus is an Intel NUC look-alike without a doubt. Although we think the LIVA really looks better than the traditional NUC. Super small, about the size of a CD case, but a lot thicker. Powerful with, for example, an Intel i5 CPU (10210U), modern with Wi-Fi 6 on board and just affordable. The mini-PC, with dimensions that fit anywhere, can be equipped with an M.2 SSD with which it can form a great office workplace. But it can also be used for more specific tasks such as digital signage, etc. The sides are provided with sufficient ventilation holes for cooling. In contrast to most of our mini PCs, this model is equipped with a (silent) fan. The necessary connections are also included on the LIVA Z3 Plus. Surprisingly many even:
- 3 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A
- 1x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port
- 1 x HDMI video output
- 1 x mini DisplayPort video output
- 2 x RJ-45 Ethernet (1GB ports)
Noteworthy is of course the speed that can be achieved via WiFi if you use a fast 802.11ax supporting router; a whopping 2.4 Gbps! In other words, with smart use, you can achieve higher network speeds via Wi-Fi than via the wired network. The double RJ-45 network ports can be used for a redundant network connection, or as two network ports for firewall use. Which could be important for certain applications.
Pros:
- Smart and attractive form factor
- Can be placed just about anywhere
- 2 network connections
- WiFi 6(!)
- Display connections
- 4 built-in microphones
Points of attention:
- Equipped with a (silent) fan
- For optimal use, it is recommended to expand memory with a 2nd DDR4-2666 - CL 19 SO-DIMM to utilize dual-channel mode
- Additional OS e.g. Win 10 Pro is required
