Too late, too much expensive.

BTW. If I buy four RPi Zeros, and combine it in one claster, could I use it to browse modern websites? Could I watch youtube, listen to the music, use zoom?

I can access the internet with a GUI web browser from my RPi0 2W, but it is slow, & just about usable....you just need to increase the swap file to 2GB....  ;D

or reduce the default settings  , possibly with an extention

hello forum

just to help forum members who may be unaware of the power of a pi zero computer

there are several free custom media centres for it .... they are Kodi but more advanced
and i believe one even contains a web browser

sorry ,

forgot to mention that in theory all the hundreds  of free Kodi plugins will also work on the pi zero.....e.g.  youtube....dailymotion....vemeo  ..etc etc
inside the free media players mentioned above 

Thx
