I first bought this calculator as i needed it for my maths exams. Since then, i haven't looked back and this calculator is all i use, even for simple things. After all, it helped me to pass my exam!
Looking at the calculator, it is much more stylish than any other scientific calculator out there. The mix of colours of a blue on button, an orange clear button and black for the numbers means you can get your fingers working quickly because it is clear what does what. The buttons are also quite big so you dont end up pressing the wrong one. Even if you do, you can just delete that number instead of the whole equation.
The big middle button at the top allows you to scroll up in your memory to see previous equations you've done.
What i found extremely useful is the ability to change an answer into a fraction or decimal (by pressing
S<->D button when your answer appears) and you can even work out percentages easily with a special % key (press "shift" and the left bracket key "(" to bring this up). Because of this handy tools, i can use this calculator for all of my maths needs as it does everything. Even if you are looking for a basic calculator, i would still recommend this for its ease of use and reliability.
The best part about this calculator is that you can even have fun with it! you can make words on it too such as BEE, FEED by pressing the "alpha key" and then then button that has a red letter by it. If you want to have even more fun, just press "shift" and the "x-1" button.....you'll have to see what that makes for yourself!
It is honestly a great calculator. Definately recommended for maths exams and even for general usage.
