IT ALL ADDS UP

Advantages: It does sums
Disadvantages: No clock, no scientific bits, bit ugly

...of this product is the Sharp Elsimate EL-334. It can take ten digits and mine is a grey-beige colour with the following design: Tax buttons are dark yellow The digit buttons are a dark mauve The memory buttons are light blue The On/off (C.CE) is pink This mixture of colours is, frankly, vulgar. However, the layout of the calculator is fine and features a natty little "back arrow" button that allows to correct a figure on the display before you ...
...for some reason, you're adding up 100 and 100 and you accidentally type in 101 instead, you can press the back arrow button and 101 will be replaced with 10, leaving you free to enter the correct "0". Another good feature is the "00" button. If you're typing in high round numbers like 10,000 you can press this twice instead of "0" four times. This would, I assume, be great for accountants and those who use high, round figures on a daily basis. ...

Casio MS-8V Calculator

Advantages: Robust design, easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...divide and multiply. The Casio MS-8V does the job rather well, and that's good enough for me. I don't want to belittle my job as it can get a bit stressful at times, so the ease of use of the calculator makes MY job easier. The Design ---------------- The casing is of a robust design, black in colour and generally gives a sturdy strong appearance; the look of a calculator gives the impression that it can take some stick. It hasn't got wings attached ...
...don't add up. The buttons are nice and large. I have fairly large fingers, so guys like me appreciate just pressing one button at a time; I think it adds to the ease of use as well. Power -------- This particular calculator is solar powered. In case you needed to know the battery inside the case is a solar cell battery 1.5 volt. Should you ever need to replace it (I doubt it) the battery number is LR54X1. Features ------------ The display has ...

Excellent device

Advantages: Easy, durable
Disadvantages: None

I have searched far and wide for a simple calculator which has simple functions for what I need it to do. One day, our receptionist at work sent around an email asking whether we need any stationary, so I thought, YES, I need a calculator. I was secretly wishing that this calculator would fill the void in my work life;) The next day, this puppy landed on my desk. I was so impressed with the functionality and usability of the calculator. It operates ...

Basic calculator

Advantages: Easy to operate, sturdy, no batteries required
Disadvantages: Very basic

This really is a basic calculator with very little functionality other than that of the basic addition, multiplication etc. It has the ability to program in exchange rates in order to convert currencies a little quicker, but these would need updating as the conversion rates fluctuate anyway, not saving time in the long run. If all you want is a basic calculator to do your sums on, this is fine. It has good sized keys, and the solar panel seems to ...
...unbreakable too. The display is clear, although you can only view up to 12 digits, fine for must purposes. All in all it's a basic calculator that does just the bare essentials. If you work with a PC, the calculator utility actually does much more! ...

The Perfect A-Level Calculator

Advantages: Text book option equates to easy calculations; Great for A-Level Mathematics and Physics
Disadvantages: Compared to more expensive calculators it has less features... understandably..

As a mathematics and physics A-Level student, my calculator is a very important day to day tool. The Fx-85ES is everything you'd need at this level, plus much more! One particularly excellent feature is textbook mode, which allows you to put equations in exactly how you'd see them in your text book and inputting is so exceptionally easy that i've found that any other calculator does not feel as solid. The exponential button uses x10 rather than E, ...
...which can confuse you rather easily. I'm sure there are many other useful features for the more hardcore mathematician, but I have and will continue to recommend this to my friends and students alike; If you want an effective, clear and useful calculator which do surds, trig ratios and logs for you, pick this calculator ...
