So it's basically a Pi 3 A in Zero form factor. Really nice upgrade still.
Pretty sweet, actually. For when Pi 4 is overkill, and you want a Pi 3 in a small form factor at half the price. I imagine that this will be quite popular.
We always talk about how much power we have in our smartphones these days compared to even what took people to the moon. But for the price, this is truly astonishing computing power when looked at in a historical perspective.
So much more power in a tiny board. Love it. Definitely can see a few projects the new Pi 2W can be used in here.
I should be asleep, insomnia, but finding this video makes it worth losing sleep.
What’s all this, midweek EC. Another good one Chris
Chris you make these in-depth detailed comparisons with obviously lots and lots of background research and prep appear as effortless as me pulling up my socks.
Great news, Ive been waiting for a processor upgrade in the Zero form factor. RP3 level was more than expected, well done Pi foundation!
"Let's go take a closer look". The line I always wait for~
Finally, a newer generation after so many years! But I just got the 8gb Pi 4 already, maybe I'll get it in the future.
I used to use my old pi zero w that my dad gave me bundled in a starter book to run a simple discord bot. Good times. I do remember how painfully sluggish it was to use in the desktop environment, so Im happy to see it get the boost it deserves! Edit: still have my pi zero, just dont know what to do with it.
Your channel and 3 others all uploaded this at literally the same time🤣 great time to watch in Australia ! Just before dinner! I bet there’s a whole series coming on this new Pi🙏
What a little powerhouse! For $15 USD that's an absolutely insane value. Great demonstration as usual Chris, anytime I get a notification for an EC video I know I'm going to be in for a treat!
What I love about the first model is it can run on ANY usb port. The one from the back of the monitor? No problem. How about the one on the router? Stress test CPU and GPU easy. From the phone? Not a bloody problem.
Would be nice to see a comparison between a zero 2 Vs a 3 A+. Cause the zero 2 is at half the price (and size) and so should be the natural choice for plenty of projects that currently use the 3A+. I just purchased the 3A+ for a robot cause the Zero W wasn't fast enough for what I was doing. Really wish I had waited a few more days.
In the times before the internet. A boy would have been walking in the streets shouting "Explaining Computers - Special Edition - Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W announced!"
Always nice to have a bonus video mid-week.
Always great to see a new model from Raspberry Pi. Due to their low prices though, I now have more SBCs than any reasonable person could ever need.......and I've just ordered one
A lovely little SBC for a (relatively) dirt cheap price! I can't wait to start some new projects with it.
