We recently reported on the ECS Liva Z8 Plus mini PC, which made its debut at Computex 2025 packing AMD Strix Point-powered internals and a plethora of ports in an impressively compact enclosure. Undoubtedly, the highest-end Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU packs commendable CPU and GPU grunt, although a certain segment of users may still prefer true desktop-class processors and upgradeability.
For such folks, ECS Liva One PRO600 sure sounds like an excellent choice, at least on paper. Unsurprisingly, the PRO600 is quite a bit larger than the Z8 Plus, measuring 8.1" by 6.9" with a depth of 1.3". The extra space allows the system to pack an AM5 socket, supporting Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series CPUs in 35-watt and 65-watt configurations. At the high-end, CPUs such as the Ryzen 7 9700X (currently $309 on Amazon) can be accommodated, although with modest performance expectations considering the power envelope.
The PRO600 mini PC also sports dual DDR5-6400 slots, which can be equipped with up to 96 GB of memory. Storage requirements, on the other hand, are taken care of by dual M.2 2280 slots. Like most other mini PCs, the ECS PRO600 lacks room for discrete graphics, and has to rely on integrated GPUs. The lack of an OCuLink port for speedy eGPU connections is equally frustrating. Apart from that, the mini PC packs a respectable array of ports, including four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, dual USB 2.0, 2.5G ethernet, dual DisplayPort, HDMI, as well as a single Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) port.
As of this writing, we do not have any information regarding pricing or availability details of the system. More details should become available as the product nears its official launch, although the specifications do indicate that the system is unlikely to be inexpensive.
