Aiwa IC-M 120

Advantages: tax button, solid construction
Disadvantages: none !

...I have owned my Casio DF-120TE for about 2 years now. I can guess what your saying, a calculator is a calculator . . . which to most people it is, but I use this for work, around 2000 key strokes a day, so I need a solid one, and one that I can trust. I'm sure we've all had times when we've entered in our calculation, and the answer has appear, which is complete rubbish, sometime due to human error, but mainly because the calculator has not recognized the key stroke. This one is solid, and accurate though. It has hard plastic buttons, not the soft ones which lead to a lot of mistakes, and the buttons are well spaced.

There are separate record, erase, display and menu keys.

As there is no tape please note that if you want to save your recordings then make sure you get the PC version (i.e. VN-120PC) as this has a USB terminal for connection to your computer. There are three levels of recording quality and hence differing recording times. HQ - 43 mins approx. SP - 65 mins approx. LP - 121 mins approx. Two levels of sensitivity are available. I...
