Disadvantages: So easy to use you wont want to stop using it!

I have been using this product for a long time now and I have to say that it has never let me down! It is a stylish piece of equipment with great ergonomics and a very easy to read display. I have to highly recommend this product for any students undertaking their GCSEs or higher - it is a scientific calculator so is ideal for courses such as A level chemistry. The only downside to this calculator is that its so easy to use that you're mental ... Read review

Advantages: QUICK AND USEFUL FOR STUDENTS>
Disadvantages: CAN BE QUITE HARD TO HANDLE FOR INEXPERIENCED

...but I have had another Casio calculator and that has served me well too. Not the smallest of calculators but are very mathematical and are brilliant for working out the difficult equasions and sums and are useful for key stage 3 exams, GCSE's, A level's etc. I will not be changing my calculator unless the battery runs out. From my opinion, Casio are very reliable and so is this calculator. It looks good and just has a good feel about it. Once you ... Read review

Advantages: great Aesthetics
Disadvantages: Confusing interface

I own this calculator myself and it does pleasingly have allof the basic requirements any user might expect from a basic scientific calculator. However its interface is stunning for the price you pay for it. That is, the graphical layout is adaptive to the input that you create, this is especially useful if you are a visual thinker as it means you can view what you are doing in a much simpler way and eliminates the need for consistent use of graphics. Additionally ... Read review

Advantages: Plenty of functions, and a sleek and slender look.
Disadvantages: Higher price, and a little bit more complicated than other calculators

When I first saw this in the supermarket, I was a bit skeptical, because it was a higher price than the rest, and the others seemed to be just as benifical. However, after having a quick read about the product, I chucked my doubts to the side and purchased it, and I'm glad I did. It was well worth the money, probably the best scientific calculator on the market! It is fairly easy to use, and even looks better than most other calculators! I would definetaly ... Read review

Advantages: Natural Display, cheap
Disadvantages: Takes a few minutes to get used to.

This calculator, from a students point of view is perfrect. A calculator can't do much more than this without infringing on the exams boards banned calculator list. It is the newer, updated version of the FX 83MS (also a good calculator). The natural display function of the calculator is the best of the additions from the 83MS and is extreamly useful as it gives exact answers wherever possible. It took a couple of times using it to get used to ... Read review

Advantages: Does the job
Disadvantages: None

...take over the market but Casio provides the format that everyone is familiar with. The main advantage of this is that it does what you need it to. It adds, subtracts, squares, cubes, multiplies, halves, divides and has many other functions. If you are on a GCSE or A-Level course then this is the perfect machine for you and I wouldn't recommend any other. ... Read review

Advantages: Functionality - complex mathematic calculations possible
Disadvantages: Solar Power function causes automatic switch off

This calculator enables both simple and complex calculations to be executed. Whilst it has batteries, the solar power functionality enables this calculator to be used for many years. Whilst using on solar power however, some calculations can be lost in the memory if not used for a few minutes. The battery allows the calculator to stay on constantly however. I used this calculator during some examinations and found it to be very effective, easy to ... Read review

Advantages: It can to everything a calculator could be asked of
Disadvantages: so many buttons and can be confussing to begin with

I had this calculator whilst I was in education and I can tell you now, it is one of the most reliable out there that I've come across. It was a little tricky with all the buttons, but once you know which button does what job then it really is a great bit of kit to own. Friends of mine had a different model to mine and personally there just wasn't any comparison. They all commented on how user friendly this one is when they borrowed it and eventually ...
