“Returning to computing and electronics after a 'long break' - this board is truly amazing and versatile - wish I had one in the 80's !!!!!”

“It's amazing to use this small device for one of it's great functions! Currently I run a web-server with a Wordpress installation. It runs relative quick and smooth (against my expectations). The new Wifi and Bluetooth is a must have on the Pi. A perfect upgrade compared to my other Pi zero's without the connection possibilities.”

“It is a very good product for our projects. It is smal enpughl and no need anyting except a power source and an IP address.”

“What's not to like? Raspberry pi zero with wireless functionality (bluetooth + wifi). The case was very well built as well.”

“Have combined the PI zero with a DAC and now have a very reasonably priced AIRPLAY device. The DIY feel of having to solder made the short project feel more rewarding. The fact computers are this small and power is 100% proof we live in the future. Can't recommend enough.”

“At last the amazing Pi Zero gets built-in wifi, with the release of the zero W. I've been using Pi Zeros with wifi dongles for various jobs such as security cameras, temperature monitors, etc. When the Zero W came out I immediately bought one to test it's capabilities. The on-board wifi is tiny, with a very small on-board antenna, so I wasn't expecting much in the way of range or performance. The results of my testing were very interesting - I/O performance through the wifi was limited more by CPU than by the wifi hardware itself, sustaining approx. 15Mbits/sec out and 20Mbits/sec in - sufficient for cameras streaming modest resolution video. The best wifi dongle I could find sustained about twice this I/O rate, so I though that this was a good show for the tiny built-in module (using a wired ethernet interface the unit can sustain 100Mbits of throughput). The biggest advantage, however, seemed to be in power consumption - the zero W with wifi active was drawing between 50 and 70mA of current at 5V. This is AMAZINGLY low consumption - a good wifi dongle would draw around 150mA just on it's own! The W wifi also seemed a lot more stable than some wifi dongles - I've had two Zero Ws now running for days with no glitches at all. Often cheap wifi dongles will drop connections, re-boot the pi, etc. So in conclusion, for low-power, medium throughput and "install and forget" IoT applications, the Pi Zero W is ideal, and a superb addition to the Raspberry Pi stable!”

“Pi turned up extremely quickly. It needed to as it's being used in our piwars robot as the main brain. The pi itself is great, and at less than £10 is a bargain.”
