Texas Instruments TI503SV Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this calculator to keep in my desk drawer for simple problems of the four basic mathematical functions. I also have a TI-30Xa scientific calculator in there, but it is much more cumbersome to use, particularly when using memory functions. This is an extremely basic calculator, has very large numbers for ease of reading, and is very inexpensive, making it perfect for general use around the house, like balancing the checkbook. It actually can take square roots and do percentage problems, so basic math students could rely on it for elementary math work.

The one annoyance I had with the calculator concerns the instructions: you have to download them from the web in a PDF file; none are included in the package. (Not that you really need them for anything.)Although TI didn't include instructions, they did include an enormous and unwieldy, multi-lingual product registration sheet in the package in an apparent attempt to get customer names into their database (no doubt for marketing reasons.) I can't imagine someone paying postage to register a calculator that they paid five dollars for.

Despite the above nitpicky critique, I think this is a great little calculator, and I recommend it highly to anyone for their basic mathematical computations.
