“First of all the Zero was great because it meant everyone could own a PiZero if they wanted - at 5USD. Then the cable cable was added making is perfect for mobile robots and IoT projects. Now we have WiFi and Bluetooth bundled - this makes it perfect for a low-powered robot - you no longer have to chose between a WiFi or Bluetooth dongle and you can fit the Zero into even tighter spaces. Only gets 4 stars because even though the price as doubled availability is still limited to one-per-person.”
“Hoy me ha llegado el raspberry pi zero W y tengo que decir que va fenomenal, la WiFi tiene un gran alcance y el precio es increible.
El transporte ha sido rapidisimo.”
“With a Small Board you have to go to Dongle Land and that's wasting money but now that the pi has on-board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 LE it means less trips to Dongle Land [thumbs up!] !”
“The PiZeroW was released yesterday, ordered yesterday, despatched yesterday and received today! Fantastic service from Pimoroni.
The device itself, with on-board wifi and bluetooth, is exactly what the zero needed to be which is pretty much totally self contained. After setting it up I slotted it into a PiZero case I already had and plugged it in. Now I have a miniature computer in a miniature protective case with just a power lead connected to it. No wi-fi dongle or USB hub hanging awkwardly off one side.
It may cost nearly twice the price of previous PiZeros but it is still exceptional value for money. The PiZeroW is seriously useful for those projects where you want a low power computer you can tuck out of the way and access remotely.
It seems that the PiZeroW is already out of stock at two of the three distributors so lets just hope that these fantastic devices can be produced faster and in greater quantities than the previous versions were.”
