“I first ordered this Pi Z because I thought my old Pi model B was beginning to fail. In fact it turned out to be the wifi dongles that were overheating, I tried two of them. It is interesting that the Pi z wifi works reliably in the same location without significant temperature rise and costs less than a good usb wifi adapter.
The Pi Z contains all the hardware I need.together with some homemade electronics and an Adafruit pwm hat to make a controller for a small 4 motor robot. Buy the board only option as any connectors or adapters you might need are available cheaper than buying in a kit.”
“I used this tiny board for a retro gaming system and whilst its not as powerfull as say a raspberry 3 model b+ its definitely a good choice as its just over 1/3 the price of the b+.”
“The unit I got is working good, despite the processor on it being physically broken. I stuck the heat sink on top to keep it from breaking even more :)
Customer service told me to ship the PI back (on my expense) and that they will send me a new unit. But as far as this PI is working I am satisfied :D”
“The Zero W is an awesome bit of kit. We now just need them available in bulk quantity (even at the same price would do!). Such a shame that it's so limited at the moment. We've had to change tack on product roadmap due to lack of availability.
For individual and educational purposes, it's brilliant. Nothing bad to say about it :)”
