Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W ARM 64-bit Cortex-A53 CPU, 512MB SDRAM, 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth, BLE, Composite video and reset pins via solder test points

Works really well for a small computer, good starter nas (Network attached storage) Works really well for a small computer, good starter nas (Network attached storage)

Great platform for small projects. Found DietPi to be my favourite OS with the ease of application setup. Am pushing the 512 Mb RAM with Home Assistant and ESP home within a docker container, but seems to be okay. Make sure to factor in the peripherals you likely need - recommend mini to regular HDMI, a straight micro USB to USB A OTG cable, and a heat sink case. Great platform for small projects.

I used this to setup Octopi connected to my dumb Ender 3 3d printer. With this connected I can submit and monitor jobs remotely. Installation was simply to download the official distribution made for the PI and install it onto a Micro SD card and turn it on.
During the shortages I got a clone for almost 3 times the price (Banana Pi) that I had to install the base OS and then all of the Octopi components on - It was much fiddlier requiring non-supplied Wifi antenna to be connected and hours of work on the software.

This hardware is excellent for setting up a pi-hole to filter out malware and ads at home. No noticeable lag on a pi-hole installation using multiple adlists with over one million domains combined.

Small, silent and low power = perfection. This hardware is excellent for setting up a pi-hole to filter out malware and ads at home. No noticeable lag on a pi-hole installation using multiple adlists with over one million domains combined.

I use my pi for logging Tilt data from a keg to a google sheets via bluetooth and wifi.
The bluetooth connects to the Tilt through the stainless steel keg and connects easily to the wifi and has not missed a beat.

I am going to use it for my bird nest project and the set up is easy and speed is fast even it is dealing with video in most of the time

Currently have it serving as a wireless DLNA server... 10/10 Currently have it serving as a wireless DLNA server... 10/10

Great little item, works great, thank you Great little item, works great, thank you

i needed to buy a new hdmi cable, a new usb cable and of course a micro SD card, but this little unit is great fun if you enjoy doing linux things on little stuff! If you get it right, you don't need to buy the cables (but I ran out of talent!).
Its a very cheap way of getting started with raspberry pi too - runs a proper linux OS if you want it to! i needed to buy a new hdmi cable, a new usb cable and of course a micro SD card, but this little unit is great fun if you enjoy doing linux things on little stuff!

I use mine for Home assistant rather than a VM and it works amazingly with absolutely no flaws! I use mine for Home assistant rather than a VM and it works amazingly with absolutely no flaws!

This is a fantastic little device. We needed a cost-effective way of providing print server capabilities at client sites using our cloud services. This little unit is perfect for that job.. The quad-core CPU provides more than enough computing power to handle multiple print queues with ease. The WiFi module provides a strong and consistent 2.4GHz connection. Considering it only has 512MB of RAM, it performs surprisingly well. The performance in the GUI might lag a bit. However, we're using CLI and Webmin to handle most tasks after configuration. Memory usage is not a problem so far. I can anticipate many different uses for this type of...view more This is a fantastic little device.

Good little quad-core processor. However, the 512MB memory leaves it wanting. To make it function, I had to increase the swap file from the standard 100 MB to 1024 MB. Still in a tiny little package it runs well. Good little quad-core processor. However, the 512MB memory leaves it wanting.
