It is very sad when my old laptop takes longer to open GIMP than a $15 SBC. It really shows how far these little champions have come

[jm]

So it's basically a Pi 3 A in Zero form factor. Really nice upgrade still.

[idowebwork]

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.

[wimwiddershins]

Great news, Ive been waiting for a processor upgrade in the Zero form factor. RP3 level was more than expected, well done Pi foundation!

[stinger]

What’s all this, midweek EC. Another good one Chris

[edwinohd]

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.

[StayHungry]

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!

[zetaconvex]

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.

[k.b.tidwell]

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.

[mawamatakama]

Thank you so much Mr Barnatt, I have been waiting for this for years.

[PS_Tube]

Mid week EC video is a gift. And above all, this video is a Pi video which is cherry on top.
Nice to witness how powerful the SBCs are becoming.

[RaspberryPiGirls]

This is the best video for introducing pi zero 2 with the comparison charts. We can't wait to grab some from micro center to start new rpi projects

[PenryMMJ]

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 I've just ordered one

[-someone-.]

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🙏

[angkhoavo]

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.

[TrillChords]

Yooo!! That's amazing! Can't believe I just bought a bunch of v.1 rpi0w's last week lol

Directly asks the manufacturers for more info when needed. Idk many YouTubers that go that far. Love your work!

[basildza]

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.

[sonicgr]

The difference in boot time is impressive. Though it won't make much of a difference for me. I am using a zero 1W coupled with a USB FM transmitter to relay radio Caroline to my FM radios around the house. Using command line VLC (cvlc) and no GUI on the PI. I will still consider getting the new zero for some cool projects.

[alexisriveraxable]

This is pretty great. Looking forward to trying this one out for projects. Thanks for the video!

[joelavcoco]

Very glad to see it still has a way to get composite video out. These things are great for projects that repurpose old thrift store TVs.
