To emphasize how low cost this device is, it is being given away free with this month's MagPi, the magazineР’В published by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which claims, probably correctly, that this is the first time a computer has been given away as a covermount. But as it is a non-profit success in terms of reaching a wide market is probably more important than income. This might see a fall off in sales of the original Pi. Only demanding applications will actually need one of the other models. There is an obvious downside for the Raspberry Pi Foundation. There is even a Zero-based retro games console on offer.

Unlike the other low cost educational devices, this one comes with full video output and can be used with a keyboard and mouse. There is also no camera and display interface so you won't be able to use the Pi camera with the Zero and there is no separate stereo audio output - it goes via the micro-HDMI connector.

You can get network connectivity with a USB WiFi dongle or even a wired USB network port. The processor is single core and the Ethernet port has been removed. The same is true if you want to make use of the composite video output to drive older display devices.Р”Р‡or the customer, very few and very reasonable ones.

The GPIO is the same as all of the previous Pis but it doesn't come with a 40-pin connector soldered into place - so some assembly is required if you want to use it as an microcontroller. It also runs Raspbian including Scratch, Minecraft and Sonic Pi. Most of the jobs you could have done with the original Pi, you will be able to do with the Zero.

The new Pi Zero however offers quite a lot of hardware for $5: The BBC micro:bitР’В is so cheap it is being given away to school children and Codebug costs around $15 and these prices made the Pi look expensive. While the original Raspberry Pi line of devices provides a remarkable amount of hardware for very little money it seems that things can be even cheaper. Rumours that something new was coming from the Raspberry Pi team have proved true - a $5 computer the Raspberry Pi Zero is here to give the BBC micro:bitР’В and other low cost devices some competition.
