Customer Review: Missing commas as separators
Summary: 4 Stars
I have the TI 30X-IIS, a nice dual power, 2 line calculator. It has one feature missing, the fraction bar key, that another TI has. Other than that, pretty much the perfect machine for me... except it does not use a comma in numbers to separate the thousands place: it displays ten-thousand as 10000 instead of my preference 10,000
I know, most people probably do not care, I must have some kind of dyslexia because when I see 4589339 I have no idea what that is, as compared to 4,589,339 which I instantly recognized as 4 million, 5 hundred thousand,etc.
I'm looking around for another calc, one that has a 2 line display, that works with fractions and decimal conversions, the basic stuff, AND displays numbers with the lil' comma. I would prefer a TI.
Customer Review: Impressive calculator for little money
Summary: 4 Stars
I normally don't have positive comments about the low-end TI calculators, but the TI-30x IIs (30x) is the exception. The more I use it, the more I like it and understand why it is one of the accepted calculators for the actuarial exams. My favorite (30x) features:- easy to read two line display with edit buttons - easy to use statistical and probability functions - great 5 memory register set-up - the standard scientific keys - intuitive arrangement between display and keystrokes This calculator has just the right combo of power and simplicity to use under test pressure situations or for everyday non high- end use. Amazingly, the (30x) case feels better in quality terms than the higher priced BA II Plus. Well done, TI.
Customer Review: Good calculator, flimsy case
Summary: 4 Stars
This calculator has all the functions I need for a graduate level statistics class. I especially like the 2-line display, which makes it easy to type in long strings of numbers without forgetting your place. The only reason I failed to give this calculator 5 stars is the case. It is incredibly flimsy and leaves me with no sense of certainty that the calculator is safe bouncing around in my bag.
EDIT: I have had this calculator almost 3 years now and the "flimsy" case is still intact, even though it has been bouncing around in my bag all this time. It still works and the case still protects it. I guess it's not that flimsy after all.
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this for advanced algebra I and it works great as a scientific calculator! (I still have to have a graphing calculator, but that is too big to carry around all the time.) I use this for everything I do math-wise and it works great!
Pros: well...it does what it's meant to do, and does it well. And at a great price, too!
Cons: I left it in my binder without the cover, and I think making it turn on and off all day long broke it. We tried replacing the battery but that didn't work. Also, I like a slide-on cover better than the span-on cover that this calculator has. Still, I am completely satisfied with it!
Customer Review: Well thought out and good warrenty
Summary: 4 Stars
This calculator functions are well thought out. The calculator could use better instructions from the manufacture. I bought my TI30IIs when I started in college and it has been very handy. I did find that the number buttons quit after one years worth of use. HP graciously replaced the calculator even though it was technically out of warrenty recognizing that this sort of problem should not have happened and accknowleged that the unit should last more than just a year. As I advance into calculus I plan to buy a TI89. Thanks HP for a great product.
