Texas Instruments TI34II Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The TI-34II is a good calculator that is easy to use.
Unfortunately, it has one fatal flaw.While it allows numbers to be entered in scientific notation, it doesn't have a feature to show the result of a calulation in scientific notation.With a 10 digit display, it can be hard to figure out if 100000000 is 1 billion or 100 million.Lack of comma's to group digits into 3's also hurts.I ended up buying a CASIO FX-115MS, which does have the scientific notation and comma's.
If the TI had the comma's and scientific notation, it would beat the CASIO hands down for ease of use, and also contruction.I also like the fact that it remembers prior calculations even after auto-powering down.The CASIO forgets after any power down.
