Pros

Pro
Software compatible with the Raspberry Pi

ODROID-W is compatible with the Raspberry Pi at least as far as software goes. It can run any software built for the Pi.

Pro
Amazing heat dissipation

The ODROID-W has some great heat dissipation. From studying the heat of the heatsink, the maximum temperature registered was 37 degrees Celsius, and that was registered when the board was doing a lot of unpacking through apt-get. Normally the temperature is even lower than that.

Pro
Can fit most Pi cases

Since it's built to emulate the Raspberry Pi, it's roughly the same shape albeit a bit smaller. But even then it should be able to fit most Raspberry Pi cases.

Pro
Open source hardware

Schematic and board layout available at Seeed Studio's GitHub https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/beaglebone-getting-started/tree/BBGW/Docs/Hardware

Pro
BeagleBone Black compatible

Compatible with BeagleBone Black software (with the exception of HDMI and Ethernet).

Pro
WiFi and BlueTooth included

WiFi (2.4GHz b/g/n) and BlueTooth (classic and BLE) are both included.

Don't fall in love, this model is no longer available.

Con
No on-board Ethernet

The ODROID-W has no on-board Ethernet port available, however this can be fixed by using a docking board which has an Ethernet jack.

Con
Needs a multi-USB hub

Since it only has a USB host connector available for a full-sized port, you most certainly will need a multi-USB hub to connect more than one external devices to the board.
