Advantages: good handbook, huge RAM and ROM
Disadvantages: pricey

...As I'm studying Computer Science / Computer Engineering, I (unfortunately) have to deal with Maths on a nearly daily basis. We are not allowed to use any calculators in the four Maths exams (neither in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Hardware Engineering…) but for home use I wanted to buy myself a calculator to a) control my results (nothing is more annoying than calculating and calculating over several pages and then having to find out that there's a mistake in first few lines) and to b) get a result quickly when I don't have my laptop with my beloved math software around. After some thinking I decided to get the Texas Instrument (TI) Voyage 200 as I've always been very happy with my TI calculators in the past. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What it looks like...

Advantages: Many Uses, very reliable
Disadvantages: Graphics could be better, slightly slow

...I have owned this calculator for about 8 years now, and have not had much to complain about. I originally bought it for use in my calculus class during high school. It proved useful on many occasions, especially its graphing capability. Design: The calculator is a very plain shape. A large rectangular block with rounded corners. It’s not very comfortable to hold, but most of the time I use it sits on my desk. The buttons are also a bit noisy after this many years of constant use, although they all still work (unlike my mobile phone!). The Sliding cover has broken at some bits, but still serves to protect the calculator. The screen is conveniently slanted toward the user to help visibility. Graphing: This is the one feature that attracted my attention. The graphing ability is very simple to use (for simple functions... Read review

Advantages: Sleek design, reliable, Time Value of Money keys
Disadvantages: Could do with a larger screen

...This calculator is a must for anybody who does finance, accounting, economics, investment, statistics, and other business classes. On some courses you may find that this is the only calculator you can take to the exam! The calculator has really good feel to it and looks really professional. The calculator itself is kindof brushed metal with a black protective case. I used to use the BA II Plus before and moving onto this calculator was a huge improvement both in feel, quality and looks. The calculator has essential functions such as Time Value of Money and allows you to calculate cash flows using the "CF" key. It is a great calculator to own, the only downside is the size of the screen... some have a huge screen which allows for multi-line calculations, but this also has a "store key" allowing you to store numbers allowing you...

Advantages: It's cheap - has a good range of functions.
Disadvantages: Small batteries, limited processing power - idiotically small manual

...Defining this calculator as good - really is a series of trade offs. Ok so I have not ever had a Texas Instruments Titanium - at ~$300Au.. with it's 4 x AAA Alkaline batteries and massive calculator processing power... Fiddled with one once. This calculator - from a fairly amateurish standpoint is a good deal... It's cheap, it's light and it's probably an excellent "starter" into the Graphing Calculator Market. It takes ONLY 2 ? little button cell batteries, so it's duration and it's processing power (speed and complexity) are passable from a cheap unit, but again, in Australia I think I only paid $10 or $15 for it, and not $300 for a TI Calculator. The MAJOR piss off is it's manual. I mean one would be hard pressed to fuck up a products functionality (how does one use it?) by making a manual that is this bad... Read review
