ECS Liva Z11 Plus Mini PC Features Full Specs; Arrow Lake Is Supported
ECS has now revealed every specification of its forthcoming Liva Z11 Plus mini PC after its unveiling at Computex 2025. The compact system is designed with support for Intel's latest Core Ultra processors, with configurations available for both the Meteor Lake and the newer Arrow Lake series, up to 96 GB of RAM.
Processors and Memory Diversities
The Liva Z11 Plus will have performance differences by offering four different CPU configurations for users to choose among. The configurations used are differentiated from Intel's Core Ultra Series 1 (Meteor Lake) to Core Ultra Series 2 (Arrow Lake).
- Arrow Lake Options: Core Ultra 7 255H (Top-tier), Core Ultra 5 225H.
- Meteor Lake Options: Core Ultra 7 155H, Core Ultra 5 125H.
The system supports a staggering 96 GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory. Though, another interesting thing is that the memory speed itself depends on processor series: For Arrow Lake configurations, DDR5-6400 is guaranteed, while Meteor Lake configurations come with support for DDR5-5600.
Storage and Connectivity
Everything else for the storage would be two M.2 slots for PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs: one for the standard 2280 and one for the smaller 2242 format. A separate M.2 2230 slot is reserved for a wireless networking card.
Port selection on the Liva Z11 Plus is rich:
- Front I/O: 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1x USB 2.0 Type-A.
- Rear I/O: 2x USB4 (40 Gbps, Type-C), 2x HDMI, 2x USB 2.0 Type-A.
- Networking: 1x 2.5G Ethernet port + 1x Gigabit Ethernet port.
This combination of two HDMI ports and two USB4 ports, which support DisplayPort Alt Mode, provides the mini PC with the capacity to drive up to four 4K displays simultaneously.
Design and Form Factor
The Liva Z11 Plus is compact and fits in a slim chassis of just 0.71 liters, having a dimension of 114.4 x 114.4 x 54.5 mm. It is powered via an external 120W power adapter. Targeting industrial and edge computing markets primarily, the high-end configurations may also appeal to consumers looking for a powerful compact system for day-to-day tasks or light gaming.
Pricing and Availability
ECS has yet to announce pricing or a release date for the Liva Z11 Plus series.
