Casio FX-83GT Plus Scientific Calculator
- The really brilliant thing about this Calculator is that it displays your workings just as you would write them down on a piece of paper in school.
- Calculator's hardly run out of battery so it's a must buy for School's and sometimes offices.
- Quality is good and it lasts for years on the single battery that's within it.
- I have had this calculator since 2012 September, the batteries have lasted since then.
- Very useful, more than enough functions, good price, and good battery duration.
Casio FX-85GT Plus Scientific Calculator
- I like the design of this because I has a hard shell to protect it when being bashed about in her school bag and is powered by solar panel as well as the backup battery.
- This model has a solar panel and battery back up, which the lower model does not have.
- I left the calculator uncovered in a room with mostly artificial light and the calculator charged up quickly and could be used purely on solar power!
- Excellent battery life and solar panel charging, never runs out of juice.
- The solar power is good peace of mind that it will work even if the battery ran out on you.
