“The Raspberry Pi Foundation has done an excellent job of making the Raspberry Pi 1 faster, smaller and cheaper. For the price you just can’t fault it. Having said that the weaknesses of the original Raspberry Pi are carried over to the Pi Zero, namely the desktop performance. Also there are hidden costs in terms of adaptors, microSD cards, and network connectivity. This means that if you want more performance and a full set of ports, including Ethernet, then you should opt for the Raspberry Pi 2, however for all those projects that you want to do then I suggest you buy a bucket load of Pi Zeros.”
