ECS is heading to Computex with two new additions to its LIVA mini PC lineup, including one of the first systems to show off Intel's budget Wildcat Lake silicon. The LIVA Z15 Plus is a compact desktop built around an Intel Core Series 3 Wildcat Lake chip, while the LIVA Q4 is a fanless palm-sized box running on Intel's low-power Twin Lake processors.

Details on the LIVA Z15 Plus remain thin, but ECS has shown off a chassis with a generous front I/O cluster: one USB Type-C port, a pair of USB 3.x Type-A ports, what appear to be two USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack, and a power button. The Wildcat Lake processors inside share architectural DNA with Intel's higher-end Panther Lake parts but drop down on CPU and GPU core counts, clock speeds, and NPU performance. Single-threaded workloads can occasionally approach Panther Lake territory, though multi-core and graphics tasks leave a clear gap between the two tiers. On the software side, Intel has been actively upstreaming Wildcat Lake support into the Linux stack, with NPU driver v1.32 adding Wildcat Lake coverage in April 2026, though how that translates to the LIVA Z15 Plus specifically will depend on community testing once hardware reaches users.

The LIVA Q4 is the more documented of the pair, thanks to an ECS Product Guide that lays out the full spec sheet. The system measures 7.5 x 7.5 x 3.5 cm (2.95 x 2.95 x 1.38 inches) and ships with a choice of Intel N150 or N250 chips from the Twin Lake family, both 6 watt, 4-core, 4-thread parts. The N250 adds a faster GPU and a small CPU clock bump over the N150.

Memory options include 8GB or 16GB of soldered LPDDR5-4800, paired with 128GB of eMMC storage. Connectivity covers one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a second USB Type-C port reserved for charging, dual HDMI outputs, and a 2.5 GbE LAN jack. There is no dedicated audio jack, and the listed 2.4 Gbps wireless ceiling suggests the unit ships with WiFi 6, leaving Ethernet or a USB dongle as the path to faster networking. A 45 watt USB Type-C adapter handles power.

ECS has not yet announced pricing or a firm release window for either machine, with both expected to feature prominently at the company's Computex showcase. More details should land via the official press release as the show approaches.
