The smallest Raspberry Pi just got a whole lot cooler. The Raspberry Pi Zero W carries the same form factor and specifications as the original Pi Zero and provides built-in WiFi and Bluetooth (4.1 + BLE)!
The Raspberry Pi Zero W packs all of the Raspberry Pi goodness that you know and love, into a package that's a mere 66mm x 30.5mm x 5mm. It's tiny! Perfect for projects that would otherwise be off limits to a full-size Raspberry Pi board, the Pi Zero W provides mini-HDMI, micro-B On-the-Go (OTG) USB port, and an unsoldered 40-pin header for use with hardware, HATs, and other devices.
Check out our Pi Zero W Starter Kit if you're new to Raspberry Pi. Our Essentials Kit has the basics required to make the change from a full-sized Pi to the smaller Zero W.

Rating Great product great price. Make sure you are running the latest version of Raspbian or Noobs or make sure that with the version you are running you have done a Pi firmware update with 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo rpi-update' or the WiFi device will not be found. (Posted on 27/05/2017)

Review by Christopher

Rating This feels like a huge leap forward for RPis. Most projects and media centres don't need the kind of power the RPi3. WiFi and Bluetooth and a $15 price tag makes a whole range of projects much easier. Lower power consumption helps too when running off a battery pack.
The device is solid, easy to use as expected and lots of support and documentation available. Just don't forget the HDMI port is mini and you'll need an OTG cable for a keyboard for setup. (Posted on 27/05/2017) -

Rating A great product for the price! My initial OS installation (Raspbian) was a breeze and everything I needed worked properly. Installation of OSMC onto a 4GB micro SD was also successful and worked well. Minibian on a 1GB micro SD appeared to operate quickly. I have not yet tried using the GPIO ports to control external devices. (Posted on 25/05/2017)

Rating Burnt out ... USB port died. I installed the media player off the card, loaded some video for a display, but the Pi died after about 1 hour use - burning hot. Core tell me that is normal and that a Pi can overload itself. Seems strange to me! (Posted on 25/05/2017)

Rating How small is this Raspberry Pi. Great that it has Bluetooth and wifi built in. I had a bit of trouble getting the wifi to work, it needs the latest os version and if your USB doesn't have enough power it won't load the wifi. Price is amazing, I am going to be able to use this in all sorts of places. (Posted on 25/05/2017)

Rating The product is of course excellent - but I really appreciated core-electronics quick shipping and after-sales service.
