More than 250.000 copies of Raspberry Pi Zero W are sold in a week

Pi Zero W

At the end of February, the latest Raspberry Pi board model was launched, a model that continued with the Pi Zero family but included a wireless and bluetooth module to improve the device's connections.

The price of this model was still low and this has caused many to start buying this model to the detriment of other models. To the point that In just one week, more than 250.000 units of this model have been sold.

As reported by the Foundation, the Raspberry Pi Zero W model has expanded its stock and its distributors, managing to sell in a week more than a quarter of a million units.

Raspberry Pi Zero W will be available in more countries but at the same price

Un verdadero hito dentro de la historia de Raspberry Pi y posiblemente del mundo de las placas de Hardware Libre. Pero esto has not caused the production of the model to stop or that the distributors have problems when it comes to selling and distributing this SBC board, on the contrary.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has not only communicated this fact but has also announced the arrival of this model in new countries. On total 13 new distributors to be distributed among the following countries: Sweden, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa and Switzerland. In addition, in the case of the United States, Canada and Germany, the number of official distributors has been expanded.

Aunque serían mejores noticias si este boom de ventas se aplicase a todo el mercado del Hardware Libre, lo cierto es que el éxito de Raspberry Pi no es nada malo, al contrario. The price of this model will remainIn other words, Raspberry Pi Zero W will continue to be sold at a price of $ 11, a fairly low and interesting price for our projects.
