“The Pi Zero has clearly been a huge success, perhaps indicated by stock levels even a couple of years after its release! This tiny matchbox sized circuit board offers incredible potential and computing power for under a fiver! Now the addition of built in WiFi and Bluetooth makes the Zero W definitely complete, just add a keyboard, mouse and display for a complete wireless computer! The Zero W could easily be mistaken for the standard Zero, it looks practically identical and retains the same tiny form factor. The WiFi is integrated and no special set up is required (as with the Pi3), just search for a network, login and off you go! Reception is excellent despite the miniscule antenna on board, it’s perfect for a headless internet radio project as it eliminates both a USB hub and WiFi dongle. The bluetooth also makes it easier to add a keyboard or mouse, or even stream audio again without any need for additional hardware. Another bonus is that stock levels seem to be better than the standard Zero, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble picking one up. And the best bit is its only a few pounds more than the standard zero, definitely cheaper than buying a WiFi dongle, Bluetooth dongle and USB hub! The Zero W is a no brainer, and it will help condense Pi projects even smaller and reduce power consumption over using separate hardware. Of course where better to order it than the Pi Hut, as always exemplary service and super speedy delivery! Top marks.”
“I'm a novice when it comes to electronic tinkering, and this little wonder has been great to work with. I bought this with the Mega kit and was able to get it up and running in no time. I wish I would have waiting a couple days because the Pi Zero W came out. Great product though, can't reduce the rating for that one!”
