ECS LIVA was on of the first Bay Trail mini PC available on the market, and included both memory and storage. Elitegroup Computer System (ECS) has now officially announced an upgrade at CES 2015 with ECS LIVA X, another Bay Trail-M/I mini PC with up to 4GB, and 64GB storage.

The new LIVA X is very similar to the old LIVA except with a different processor, more memory which is still soldered to the board, as is the eMMC, and one more USB 2.0 port. Dimensions have changed a bit too. The specs don’t list the exact processor, but after looking into the user’s manual, there are lots of reference to an Intel Celeron N2808 at 1.58 GHz (Burst 2.25 GHz), so that must be the one used in the product… The computer supports Windows 8/8.1 32 or 64-bit and Ubuntu from the eMMC, and Windows 7 from an mSATA SSD. A VESA mount is also available.

I could not find any pricing nor availabiliy information, but the original ECS Liva with 2GB RAM/64GB eMMC sells for $199.99 on Newegg, so the new version with 4G RAM/64GB storage, may sell around this price point, or a little higher.
