Launched with the aim of making computing even more affordable, the Raspberry Pi Zero range of computers also benefits from a smaller form factor — about the size of a stick of gum. This makes a Raspberry Pi Zero ideal for any projects where space is at a premium, such as in drones and smaller robots, or in handheld games devices.

While smaller, it still features the same 40-pin GPIO header as the flagship Model B devices (Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B), so you can use it with the same range of HATs and other expansion boards, as well as connect your own electronic circuits to its pins.

Compared to the later models in the Model B range, Raspberry Pi Zero has less processing power and RAM. The standard Zero / Zero W features a single-core processor, but the quad-core Zero 2 W is roughly equivalent to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. So, anything you can do with that, you can do with a Zero 2 W.
