Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments TI1795SV Solar Calculator
Digital camera Review: Makes math fun.
Summary: 5 Stars
My old calculator's number lights went out--3 or 8, 1 or 7, 4 or 9? But I liked it's size and shape so I searched for a similar one. This is almost the same except--much better!! The keys and numbers are larger, it has more operations, and does a neat trick: the first number and operation entered become a temporary constant. Like 2+2=4; 3=5; 4=6. Well worth the mere $15 to get it to my door. Made me glad the old one broke!
Digital camera Review: Nice and large
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice and large, but needs slightly better pads on the bottom to grip the table surface for those times when you're entering numbers wildly to keep the unit from sliding a bit. Overall, its just what I needed.Digital camera Review: Nice design, works well, great value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well-designed, simple calculator that handles typical four-function math. Large, easy to read display that includes a comma to help ensure long strings are easier to read. The buttons are slightly sculpted which helps ensure you don't hit more than one at a time, and are nicely spaced. The display angles up and is legible in even somewhat dim lighting.
Seems well-built - better than I expected given the price. Excellent choice if you're looking for a small desktop or hand-held calculator.
My only complaint is that you can't clear the memory unless you display it. That seems to be the way with all calculators today. A shame -- I have a very old one that allows you to clear memory without displaying the number (e.g., has separate buttons for clear memory and display memory). That comes in handy at times.
Digital camera Review: Okay but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
It is good but compared to the other one I have, office depot brand, it is just okay. The problem is that the number screen dips away from you making it harder to see and closer to what using a traditional non desktop (flat) calculator feels like. It is thin and not easy to see. The design is okay I like the silver color but it is not a sheet of real metal like the other one. In short it is just okay ergonomically and cosmetically but I'm sure it is durable as it is made by TI. Don't expect anything more than a basic calculator.Digital camera Review: One problem it can be hard to put your finger on
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this calculator because it is an updated version of a model I've used in my office (and now in my home office) for about 10-15 years. My wife recently discovered it and I got tired of retrieving it, so I got her this one. Its got the same big display as my old one and even bigger keys. Great. But it has one new feature which is a definite downgrade - it's missing two feet. My old one has four rubber feet and it stays on the desk where you plant it. This one has two feet on the bottom edge and the thing skates around all over the place when you punch the keys - especially when you stroke them as rapidly as she does. It's a very good and dependable instrument and when I find a couple of rubber feet to stick on it, it'll be just a little bit less "improved" and as good as my old one.
