I think the reason why there is 2 Ethernet jacks is most likely so that you can install pfsense and turn into a powerful router. The cpu in this pc supports AES encryption which is going to be required in future versions of pfsense. You could also use this pc as a NAS by installing OMV or retro gaming console by installing Lakka. There are tons off possibilities with this machine beyond just using it as a desktop pc.
Very true, my thoughts was similar, but ECS is strictly marketing it as a desktop PC which is why I didn't see a reason to have a second Ethernet. Personally rather see more USB ports. But if you know your Linux, it can be a nice NAS or DCHP server.
My in-laws are using the LIVA Z Plus. Even though they just browse the web and watch TH-cam, they also play lots of Facebook games and some of them run a bit better on the faster CPU. I can't remember the games but is called "Words" I believe. A ton of unnecessary animations.

Nice review. Keep the video reviews coming guys!
Thanks!
what about using it as a dumb terminal to RDP (remote desktop) to a more powerful desktop over the LAN?
How would this system do in streaming Netflix at HD (1980 x 1020) quality?

Leon P VESA, instead of Visa as you heard.
Well, I'm planning to get this for my mom who only watch youtube videos and browses facebook. The Pentium N4200 version that is.
