Reed switches, pretty case, Panaplex display, weird memory lever…yes. This is a very nice calculator and earns its desirability when you have a chance to use it in person. Outside it looks cheap with the white and brown plastic, but inside it’s built like a tank and it feels like it when you use it. The s...") Tag: Visual edit
- 17:08, 20 August 2024 Akbkuku talk contribs created page HP-38E (Created page with "{{InfoboxDevice|Picture=HP-38E.jpg|Manufacturer=HP|Condition=Working|Internal Display=Bubble LED}} This is part of HP’s Splice series of calculators and checks just about every box I could hope for in a calculator. It’s got brilliant red bubble LEDs, the keypad is sharp and responsive, and it’s an RPN calculator which gives it that edgy charm. Perhaps a scientific focused model would be better to use on a day to day basis, but I don’t mind it so much for what I...") Tag: Visual edit

I used a TI-89 Titanium and saw this as that, but with a full keyboard. I wrote so many BASIC programs on my 89 that this 200’s keyboard would have made my life so much easier. If you’re not familiar with the series, this is a fully programmable calculator, basically a computer really. It ca...") Tag: Visual edit

I’m hunting for a mythical desktop LED calculator from the 70s because they just don’t seem to exist or at least aren’t common. But this isn’t a bad adding machine style calculator. It has all the features you could really want. The keys don’t feel bad but don...") Tag: Visual edit

I don’t remember the switches being great, it’s typical VFD, it has a weird external AC PSU, and it’s just a single chip design. But it’s surprisingly pretty in person and not unpleasant to use. I mostly picked it up because it seems so quintessentially 70s though that it could make a great prop...") Tag: Visual edit

This is a much later graphing calculator but interestingly it has a color display! There’s no real reason for it to have one, yet it does. I haven’t spent that much time with it. Basically I saw “color”, I thought “that’s weird”, and then I bought it. Category:Calculator") Tag: Visual edit

It has a few other interesting features like a stopwatch, clock, and alarm but, if I remember right, if falls short of having a full calendar. Still very cool!
