Did you see the new Raspberry Pi Zero that was unveiled a few days ago? If you are active in the tech scene, you may have heard or seen it around online. This is the latest device from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and it seems to be doing well.
This Raspberry Pi Zero was definitely a hit with most people when it launched last week. One thing that drew attention to this new Raspberry Pi Zero is its low price of $5. This price seems to have attracted quite a number of people the device sold out in just 24 hours.
According to reports, over 20,000 units of the Raspberry Pi Zero sold out in just 24 hours. This is a record for the company.
“You’d think we’d be used to it by now, but we’re always amazed by the level of interest in new Raspberry Pi products,” Raspberry Pi Foundation founder Eben Upton told Wired. “Right now it appears that we’ve sold every individual Zero we made and most of the 10,000 MagPi issues with cover-mounted units.”
With the first batch sold out, the company also said that users should not worry that much as other units will be released soon.
