Sounds pretty sweet. The Raspberry is now firmly inside a price territory where it has a lot of Intel/AMD rivals.
The Raspberry Pi Zero for $5 was never widely available. I'd love to see something in that price range that is actually available to buy. Hopefully also with low power requirements like the original Pi Zero.

- bmicraft 2y agoThe Zero 2W has much better availability and at $15 it should still be cheap enough to essentially be a no-brainer if specs fit your needs.
- Tepix 2y agoIt's 3x the price of the $5 Pi Zero, you could argue it's not even in the same ballpark.
- bmicraft 2y agoWhile that's true, you're also getting much more for that: 4x Cores + WiFi + Bluetooth. The 2W is slow but usable compared to the original, which really wasn't. The original $5 can't even be matched by most ESP32 dev boards. I suspect they sold the original either at a loss and/or just to get rid of excess inventory of that original Broadcom SoC - which is also why it was a hard-to-get limited run.
