CSOSL200TE - SL200TE Handheld Foldable Pocket Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So I finally decided to get myself a new handheld calculator. The old one was being held together by scotch tape, and although still (almost) operable, it just didn't give the right impression at meetings when a key would fall off during important discussions. (Like the cost of lunch)
I've used my old faithful for nearly ten years, but as the time for loyalty and nostalgia expired with the "plus" key, it was time to boldly venture into the wide, wild world of stationery to search for a new toy.
After peering for what seemed like centuries at the dazzling array of handheld calculators that could do everything except pack the groceries, I made a calculated (okay, desperate) decision to choose by brand first, and appearance next. Brand was easy - Texas Instruments sounded like it should be used by engineers or very bright college kids, so not even being able to remember what a "cosine" was, I decided for a simple but trustworthy brand like Casio. (There were cheaper ones, but somehow the ones with brightly colored keys that play a tune just didn't say "Corporate" to me)
This one folds up into what looks like a flat cigarette case, can fit in your pocket, and has an embossed stylized leaf on the cover. Sleek and sturdy looking, yet cool enough not to be nerdy, it has an 8 digit display with big numbers (all the better to see them with, my dear) and also big keys with a rubberized finish for non-skid number crunching.
But that's not all - it can also calculate tax rates (handy for those shopping expeditions when there's that pesky tax added on), and has three exchange rate conversion memory functions for overseas trips. You can calculate both "price plus tax" and "price less tax" after setting the applicable tax rate, and by pressing a button a second time you can see the actual tax figure also. Instructions are included in several languages, and even the English is comprehensible.
Last, but not least, it is dual powered (battery and solar), shuts off by itself, and the battery can be replaced, making this an ideal calculator for business persons, travelers and mall rats everywhere.Amanda Richards, May 19, 2006

Casio SL-200TE Solar DualLeaf Pocket Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a pocket calculator with a lid to keep out dirt and dust and protect the keys that also is capabable of withstanding some rough use.
This is a very nice calculator. Exactly fits the bill. It's basic without square root or other trig functions but for $10 it's a solar powered calculator that should last a very long time.
