“As a beginner, without the the Micro-HDMI, working "headless" (without a screen) may take a bit of an effort. There are plenty of tutorials out there to help you.
I am using my pi with a 16GB Sandisk micro SD and it works fine. Used it as an Adblocker and a VPN.
The Pi community is great and LOTS of help. Just be prepared for a very steep learning curve!”
“it worked how i expected. Biggest problem was my lack of knowledge. Playing with the pi has greatly improved my understanding of SBC. I am now looking for ideas for my next project.”
“As always, nice little and cheap sbc for embedded applications. This time used as an auditing tool.
An mmcx connector would be a plus, but keeping cost low explains choices.”
“My original order had a fault with a Zero W, after a quick email Pimoroni shipped a replacement the same day which I received the next day!! You can't get better service than that! Keep up the great work and great service, thanks!!”
