Casio Calculator

Advantages: Good Price, Does that it says it will, Solar powered
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

...I bought this calculator at my local woolworths as i was after a scientific calculator and one that was cheap(i paid under £10 for this one which seemed a good price). The calculator is made by Casio which are a well known brand for making anything from calculators to TV's . The dimensions are 84x155x12mm and it is a light too which is a bonus. The keys are large enough for most people and all the writing is clear on and above the keys. This scientific calculator with has 249 functions (164 scientific functions) - including statistic functions. It is primarily aimed at secondary school student but i reckon it will be fine for almost any function unless you need the functions of a graphic calculator It is solar powered so it doesn't require any batteries in order to function however as with all solar powered products,you just...

Review of Casio FX 85 ES

Almost better than sex

Advantages: It doesn't come better than this!
Disadvantages: Not for the feint hearted

...I owe you all an apology! Macbeth has nothing to do with Casio - I just happened to be in that section when I asked CIAO to create a new listing Ho hum - worse things have happened at sea! I've had the privilege of knowing the designer, Ken McBeth for nearly twenty five years - he's well known in analogue synth circles a larger than life extrovert who always gives it 110% - his entire existence is dedicated to the design, and manufacture of some of the highest quality electronic musical instruments ever produced - period. Analogue synthesisers first made an appearance in the mid 1960s, they tended to be big, cumbersome, not that reliable, and very complicated to set up. Even so, they were soon adopted by avant garde musicians, but it took several years before they were accepted by 'mainstream' musicians - almost entirely due...

Review of Casio Macbeth MX3 Synthesizer

Fantastic keyboard, so lovely to type on...

Advantages: Separated keys; very nice to type on, very nice to look at (doh!)
Disadvantages: None really

...I've just purchased the Apple Snow Leopard Mac Box Set from my local Apple authorised service provider, and decided to buy an Apple keyboard with it. The Apple keyboard is priced around £28.00 - and no matter what keyboard I try I can type the fastest with this keyboard due to the separated keys. Very quiet key stroke during operation and just very pleasant to use. The keyboard enclosure is made from aluminium and even without being too close to the keyboard you can smell the aluminium when you first open the product, but the smell soon wares off. Nothing bad or anything - just saying! I actually purchased the keyboard without the numeric keypad - but you can purchase one with or without the numeric keypad usually at the same price. The keyboard's caps lock has an LED light on the top left corner to denote the obvious, and you have to...

Review of Apple keyboard

Good to start

Advantages: Casio chord function, metronome, 100 songs, 120 rythmes, over 500 sounds, lessons
Disadvantages: small range of keys, annoying lady in speak mode

...Almost all the products I get are given to me as presents and this one was aswell. Not the most expensive key board ever, but then again I don't exactly need a whole load of synthesisers do I? No, I just needed a piano that I could play at home, and this has certainly done its job! This casio keyboard is the perfect keyboard if you want to use it just as a piano, but however, if you are a starting keyboard player, I recomend that you get this keyboard since there are synthesiszing options available. Also this keyboard has over 500 different sounds to choose from with an additional 120 rythmes and included in the price is a Casio song book which has 100 songs in it, from easy one handed songs such as happy birthday, to extremely quite hard songs, like canon pachalbel. The lesson feature is also very helpful as it has three steps...

Review of Casio CTK810 Keyboard

Keyboard

Advantages: Design
Disadvantages: Expensive

...This is a good quality keyboard that offers good value for money in the short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be anle to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. The consumer will have to spend a short period of self-training in order to become fully acquainted with using the product. This can be achieved fairly efficiently by making reference to the guide/instructions that comes in the box. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore have to recommend the product....

Review of Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard & Optical Value Pack - keyboard , mouse

Casio the wonder calculator!

Advantages: Reliable, Long battery life and very handy!
Disadvantages: Long mathmatical equation inputting not so good.

...This Casio calculator has been at my side for approximately at least 5years now, and is in more demand now than previous use. I have used this calculator in 3 main areas. 1. General GCSE 2. Chemistry and Biology A-level and now 3. Chemistry degree (first year only so far?) GCSE: Harking back to the good ole days (why are they called the good ole days? Someone please tell me why!) My calculator joined me in my quest of maths at the tender age of 13, where the most advanced calculations it was asked to do was to deal with are such aspects as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, powers and bracketed equations. These are the basics of most maths until a level maths, and on these small calculations it doesn?t fail. One would think that if it did it wouldn?t really be a good calculator! (By the way...

Review of Casio FX 85 ES

  Not just a gamers keyboard

Advantages: robust, feature packed, incredibly useful, stylish
Disadvantages: large, expensive, replaced by an inferior model

...What's the difference between a standard keyboard and a gaming keyboard? Well, in this case, a honking great big LCD, 18 programmable macro keys, two USB ports and a bright-LED backlight! The Logitech G15 is marketed as a Gamers keyboard when in fact, I think it would be more accurately described as a multipurpose keyboard. I don't really call myself a huge gamer - probably only clocking about 5 hours a week - however I bought this keyboard anyway, with the impression that it would help improve my general computer experience. This keyboard has perhaps been my most useful purchase to date. Style Even by the small thumbnail picture, it's evident that this keyboard really is one of a kind. For starters, it appears to have twice as many buttons as a traditional keyboard, and it does! As well as the full range of characters...

Review of Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard - keyboard

Apple Keyboard

Advantages: Good Multimedia Keys, Flat Desgin, Very Easy to Type.
Disadvantages: Need's OS X Tiger with the latest update or higher, No good on Windows.

...This Apple Keyboard has to be one of the best Apple have ever made. First of with the design, Taking after the Mac Book Keyboard style, it feels like typing on Laptop Keyboard. Typing is very quick and easy. The Keyboard is VERY thin and so it's very easy to move around but will stay where it's put. The Keyboard also has multimedia Keys. These Keys work on OS X good and will work on Windows with Boot Camp Drivers. The Keyboard it self works Plug and Play in Windows but only the standard stuff work. The Keyboard has Brightness, Exposé, Dashboard, Track skip, Pause/Play, Mute, Volume Keys and a Eject Button. The Keyboard being so small does suffer from a small "L Enter Key" however I haven't found this to be a problem. The Keyboard also comes with 2 USB 2.0 Ports on the Left and Right hand side. In trying these they haven...

Review of Apple keyboard

A great keyboard for Vista and XP machines

Advantages: Great for gaming and media
Disadvantages: Need to install drivers and for some features you need Windows Vista

...Intro I recently built my own pc and I wanted a decent keyboard, which would meet my gaming needs. When I bought this keyboard I was pleasantly surprised by its appearance. The fact that it is designed like a wave is extremely clever. Not only does it make the keyboard look great but it is better designed for your hands as they fit comfortably into the wave shape. The keyboard also has many other buttons which can be used for internet operations and for controlling the windows vista operating system. For example the Windows Vista 3D flip (which can only be used with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate.) This can be very helpful as many of these operations can be complex and can take a lot longer without it. Design This system has been designed with comfort in mind, the padded bottom of the keyboard makes for better...

Review of Logitech Wave Keyboard - keyboard

Casio fx-83EX is a great school calculator!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...will be some useful functions on these type of calculators (like solving quadratic equation and drawing out graph transformations etc.) that you cannot do on the Casio fx-83EX. But even now, at university, i still keep this calculator as it is so easy to use and has useful functions that you sometimes don't even get on the very expensive calculators! I would definitely recommend this product! Another last note is to say that to be honest, you don't even need to bother with the instruction manual as it is so simple to use and it is a commonly used calculator in schools so the teachers are bound to know how to do everything!...
