> chepaer alternatives started appearing rather quickly after the first Rpis. I'm not so sure about this. The value is incredible for what you get and the quality of the ecosystem. The original Zero W was $5 and the new Zero W 2 in the article is $15. That's cheaper than a knock off Arduino board. They are honestly so cheap I have a hard time not picking up yet another one every time I visit the store.
