The 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.
