Good calculator for simple calculations

Casio FX-85 GT PLUS Scientific Calculator - UK version, Eng. Manual (Office supplies & stationery)

Customer Review

I bought the calculator, because I needed a non-programmable calculator for an exam. Initially, there were many doubts, because I've worked for a long time exclusively with graphic calculators, mainly these were all from Texas Instruments and not of Casio.
Nevertheless, the training was pretty easy despite not too good documentation (the included instructions would have liked to be a little more structured and detailed) and despite the "simplicity" that simulates the calculator at first glance, it has many useful functions (of interest with me in particular statistical calculations).
What does the calculator but tasted the 5th star, unfortunately is the design of the calculator. Neither the lid nor without cover is the calculator as stable on a hard surface, so you can tap, without that the calculator occupied or rumwackelt loud. A few non-slip rubber on the bearing surfaces as TI calculators would not be bad, then you would have the calculator is not always on a soft surface.

In summary:

+ Wide range of functions for the price
+ Clear menu navigation thanks to large display
+ Handy and nice thin
- Jerky when typing, if it is on a hard surface
- Buttons a little wobbly
