The Raspberry Pi Pico is a change from the previous Pis that people are used to. This is because it is not a Linux computer, but it is a microcontroller board just like Arduino.
The biggest selling points of the Raspberry Pi Pico are the price, costing only $4 and it has the new RP2040 chip which can provide ample power for the embedded projects and it enables the users of any ability or age to learn about coding and electronics.
If you have a Windows Apple, Linux computer or even a different Raspberry Pi, then you are already on your way to using the new Raspberry Pi Pico in your next project.
