Hiya, what operating system are you using ? when I flashed from my Mac it recognised it straight away but from my Windows laptop I had to install a driver for the USB in order to recognise it.. the other thing is to try a different USB C cable, some only support charging and not data

Hi matey, version 17.5.1 which is the one on mine takes up 11.71Gb then it says a further 6.67Gb are used for system data.. I'd think in reality the 256Gb would give you ample as my iPad mini is only 64Gb and it's never been a real issue. Keep in mind you can add really fast storage via USB C for things like editing now. Use case comes in to it but my choice would otherwise be 256Gb plus Apple Pencil Pro and that would be about £70 less than the 512Gb.. you could get a good, fast 1TB NVMe drive and housing for around that. Hope that helps, Tim 👍

Hey thank you Mark 👍 they are the best aren’t they.. and there’s plenty more videos in the pipeline

@@techtonictim pleased to hear it, the extra monitor is a great idea.

Hi Steve, it’s an interesting one.. I definitely prefer the screen with the coating and it is more comfortable on the eyes however the texture does ‘feel’ like it’s a little less crisp but I can’t decide if that is down to the near zero reflection or not. I’ve taken closeup pics and it’s still super sharp, if anything it seems sharper than the glossy screen on the M1 iPad Pro.. I think it’s an optical illusion.. bottom line is I’d recommend it if you regularly use it in bright conditions.. I don’t use it for this but it would be perfect if you used it as a teleprompter for example. Cheers, Tim

Hi Bernie, I'm in a similar position on the size front ! wondering if I should of gone with the 13in.. I think grass will always be greener.. like you say, you can always add the PRP or similar later and at least you can remove it if you don't like it 👌Enjoy the new toy and thanks for taking the time to comment 👍

Hey thanks Todd 👍

I have the power saving switched off in the App but screen blanking set to 15 seconds.. not had a sleep incident like that. Which software version are you running?

Glad it helped.. 👍

Hi, they did do a firmware update in April that introduced horizon lock.. it seems to work well👍

@@techtonictim Yes, unfortunately horizon lock is not available in Pure Video mode. Perhaps next version, next year, I hope.

Hi Adam, do you mean on the Ace Pro ?

@@techtonictim Yes. I tried different settings on mine, and this happens.

Its a comparison test between the Ace Pro and the GP12 under the same lighting conditions at night. I’ve another in the works where I compare several action cams used at night for steelwool light painting.. you might like to check that out in the coming weeks 👍

Hi, yes 👍 sorry should have mentioned that

Many thanks 🙏 appreciated

I’ll upload an extended compare video soon.. have also got the ultra small Go 3 so will add that too. Thanks 🙏

You're welcome.. it's a great addition to the toolkit👍 I'll probably go the same route and get the adapter, would always be useful. Thanks for commenting.. cheers, Tim

Thank you for the kind words, that’s appreciated 🙏

Great thanks Jon thats worth knowing 👍 its a proper gem of a mini keyboard

Hi, sorry only just seen this message 🫣 your best bet is probably a usb to firewire cable from somewhere like Amazon.. have used these in the past to get footage off an old DV camera 👌

@@techtonictim no worries, it's for midi, decided to buy a separate system for it, 😁.

Hi David, yes it does.. it’s within the power button towards the top right of the front

Have used both successfully.. now prefer 11 👍

Hi Alex.. yep, no problem 👍

@@techtonictim Thanks for the reply! So I can just insert any 2.5” SATA SSD in the proper slot?

@@alexlandherr yes

@@RealMTBAddict Thanks! I’m saving up for one of these.

@@alexlandherr check out Newegg. You can do monthly payments.

Hi Michael, yes.. I’ll put a video together going through the steps. It’s pretty straightforward 👍

Hi Malcolm, I use bluetooth speakers but it does have audio out or if your monitor has HDMI with speakers then that works.. oh and of course usb speakers 👍

@@techtonictim thank you but i managed to work it out

512gb 👍

Hi, thank you 🙏 and Yes.. it’s got Bluetooth 5.0 (& infrared for a remote!)

@@techtonictim thank you

Hi Jeroen, well it does cut in and out but it’s surprisingly quiet.. definitely nothing like a typical desktop PC. You can also mount it on the back of a monitor which would help direct any sound away. Bottom line is it’s pretty quiet 👍 All the best, Tim

When browse or YT my 4700u is quite, but when playing game, its quite loud and annoying.

@@martinhyska1206 it's not meant for gaming

Hi Kirk.. yes, exactly that.. sorry I didn't cover that bit. Essentially I keep a USB stick up to date with the latest version of windows 10 for exactly these type of builds. Perhaps i'll do another video on that and all the other essential utils I keep on the USB stick. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's always appreciated.. Tim

Hi Stephen, the I/O is essentially the same but the ethernet port is now faster at 2.5Gb/s plus it supports faster ram and larger capacity drive.. there's a great article here that delves deeper - www.itpro.co.uk/hardware/359555/asus-pn51-minipc-review-an-affordable-miniature-marvel - hope that helps

@@techtonictim Many thanks!

Hi David, it supports Up to 64GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2x SO-DIMM.. these are smaller than what you might find in a typical desktop PC.. they're the sort/size you usually have in a laptop

Hi Chris, you can freely download the latest version of Windows from microsoft using their media creation tool and then create an installation USB stick (or DVD) then use that to install windows 10. It will run indefinitely but you won't have a licence so will get a prompt from time to time in the bottom right of the desktop. You can of course go and buy a licence online (amazon / ebay etc) at any point in the future and there's pretty much always some great offers on those.. or even transfer a licence from an old defunct machne. Thanks for watching my video and commenting.. all the best, Tim

Best is use win10/11 from ghost custom edition. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJOAZNhjsdO3mJc.html

Cheers Mark 🙏

It could but would be pushing it a bit.. Roblox, however, plays surprisingly well

Agreed, a 2nd port would make quite a difference.. i’ve paired mine with a couple different usb c port adapters and it’s really useful but just more clutter to clump around. I have the 64Gb version and it’s still plenty enough for my needs. Yes, the elastic band has been a must have since day one 😄👍
