The new model is called the Pico W. It\u2019s basically the same hardware, but it adds, as the name suggests, an 802.11n Wi-Fi radio, making it useful for putting together IoT projects and the like. It\u2019s also more expensive than the standard Pico, coming in at $6. <\/p>\n A 50 percent price jump isn\u2019t insignificant (especially if you plan on buying a ton of these), but it\u2019s understandable why the W version costs so much more than the original. Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton told The Verge\u2019s <\/em>Nilay Patel<\/a> that adding radios to products is very expensive. \u201cJust the radio conformance for a modern Raspberry Pi product is the best part of half a million dollars,\u201d he said. The $4 Pico also isn\u2019t going away. If cost is a big factor and you can do without network connectivity, you can still get the less expensive model. <\/p>\n
