День томуRaspberry Pi Zero 2 W review, including hardware specification and comparative performance tests. You can find more information on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W at:
www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-...
Please note that the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W shown was supplied for review by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The video has therefore been flagged as a "paid promotion", as I received something "of value from a third party" that allowed me to make the video ahead of the launch on October 28th 2021.

I don't think the RAM will be such an issue for use cases where you'd want such a low power SBC. Since you aren't likely to run desktop applications and any high end workflows on it (for that, get the 4B instead, it has up to 8GB RAM), it'll be mostly fine for tasks such as a file server, retro emulation (up to N64) or just media playback. Being the brains of a robot isn't exactly RAM intensive, either.

Not that much of a travesty, it can be a good thing. If computing power advances faster, then your gear becomes obsolete faster. A big reason why a 10 year old PC is still viable is because spec bumps have gotten smaller over the years. That's good for the environment and your wallet. Old PCs can still be used.

The final product will not make any sense. 1. RPis are not very energy efficient as they should be. Basically, any not very old laptop can idle at lower power than RPi4. Don't know about RPiZ2. 2. Really need to have x86 to RPi comparison. I doubt RPiZ2 can beat C2D/C2Q or Atom z8350, no need to say about modern ones. So replacing board with RPi will make the machine slower. 3. It will be hard and expensive to make proper IO connectors placement. 4. Just don't make things go to landfill. Sell or give things that you don't need anymore. There are plenty of people that will be happy to have an old laptop for free. Reuse, not recycle.

One thing I noticed, and please correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the impression that the Arm 11 "Broadcom BCM2835" of the Pi Zero/W is a 1GHz 32bit processor ( I still get excited by saying that when holding the device ) - when comparing this with a 1Ghz Quad Core 64bit processor in the Pi Zero 2 - for $15 its just astounding!

If I can't fix that one, I'm devilishly tempted to get one of these and give it a second spin (or use it properly like a normal person).

That's exactly what I do but not in a gameboy form factor. Just a really tiny box for my tv so that the entire unit takes up very little shelf space.

Hi, Just wondering how its power consumption compares with the old Pi zero w. Nice board, great video.

Go to the Jeff Geerling channel. He also does a review of this new Pi, and does compare the power usage.

Thank goodness for his videos, in this time with much chaos in the world this channel gives us all a sense of steady normalcy, imagine that.
