“If you can get your hands on one, perfect for building into projects due to its low profile and small footprint. e.g. You can solder on right-angle male pins if you wanted to keep the Pi 'flat'. Great price too.”
“Pi Zero is a very small embeddable unit. It is absolutely not for beginners but advanced users may get much of it. Lower power consumption and smallest footprint are it’s best features. It runs Java code with an ease. Lack of dedicated monitor/camera connectors may be a problem for some but for headless options it works great.”
“Have been totally flabbergasted with this little baby! It was a little daunting the lack of USB, but I totally understand the reasoning of the architecture. I am a newbie in electronics, breadboards, and soldering, and all that, but I'm gonna trudge forward and give it a go. That's the beauty of the Pi 0, if I burn it up learning, it's not a big deal. I have another one on order right now. And another...I am keeping one Pi 0 as my media center, it's been really fun.”
