Pros and cons

Pros

  • 802.11n Wi-Fi with WPA3 and Bluetooth 5.2 on board
  • Twice the SRAM and flash of Pico W, and a faster 150MHz clock
  • Arm TrustZone, signed boot and SHA-256 acceleration

Cons

  • Microcontroller, not a Linux computer; 520KB of SRAM
  • Rated to 70°C, against 85°C for Pico 2
  • Micro USB, USB 1.1 only
