Best Calculator.

What is the Calculator Meta?

Tp4 still got his Ti89titanium, buhhhh it's hard to use at night.

Thoughts?

HP Prime G2 looks pretty neat, but apparently the software is prone to crashing?


Seems like amazon really likes TI-30X II, split dot matrix

Tp4 does own a TI-30XS which has the dot matrix display.

After further online research.

It seems there are CAMPS, like the Casio 991ex Cult,  but no definitive alignment as to best-Calculator.

I have been using TI-30 variants for 30 years and they are the best. I probably have at least 3 of them scattered around the house. They last for years until the screen starts to die.

Benefit to Ti's  UI is they save the last equations you put in, even when you turn it off, and you just press up and you can copy and paste anything. That recall function itself pretty much cover 99% of day to day tasks.
