Good CalculatorStrengths: + Solar (No Batteries Needed!), Ease of use, Small & Lightweight Weakness: - No Multiline Display, No Calculus or Eq. Solver The FX-260 is a great calculator for most students. It has over 140 functions. Although the calculator can be used in college-level math classes such as Statistics, it doesn't come with any Calculus functions or an Equation Solver. The calculator is really lightweight and compact. It is permitted on AP & SAT exams. The calculator is Solar powered...so, no batteries needed! This calculator is definitely recommended to anyone looking for a good/basic scientific calculator. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Great choiceStrengths: Easy, clear, light, useful, economical Weakness: not found yet It is a great choice for a general student by the easy using, clear reading function keys(actually it is much sufficient for me). I am glad that I chose it. 0% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

To buy or not to buy. That is the questionStrengths: Very nice, compact, light weight and easy to use Weakness: Display goes away in dim light or even in your own shadow Easy to use standard functions for scientific notation, math, trigonometry and statistics. Backspace function is sure to save you some time. Thin, light weight with hard cover that slides into pocket. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

fx-260 casio calculatorStrengths: There is a lot of function for that price. Weakness: When there is no light the calculator will not work. This calculator is a wonderful calculator to use. I like the buttons. They are soft and easy to be pressed. I also think that this calculator could be use for life (if it does not break). When I grow up and I need a calculator this could be useful because it could do simply math and scientific math. This calculator is great for any students and even adults. Other calculators are really big and heavy but this one is handy and light so I do not feel that my schoolbag is heavier with the one calculator. Other calculator needs batteries but this is Solar Power!!! I do not need to waste money for batteries very time the batteries ran out! I would recommend to anyone who needs a calculator.

Casio Business/Scientific CalculatorsStrengths: easy to use. Solar system. multifunctional. price is good for such a scientific calculator. Weakness: the fonts are somewhat little, but very clear. I find it a perfect calculator for any college student. This calculator has many functions which will help you in various courses. And it has solar system, you don't need to buy battery. Small, easy to use, plus good price. It is almost perfect. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Cute little one
Strengths: Inexpensive, light weight, and very portable. Can be easily put in the pocket of my shirt. Also provides adequate functions for my daily calculation needs in Finance.
Weakness: Only one key for number storage (i.e., M+/M-). There are no other keys for temporary storage of numbers during calculation.
I feel lucky to get this one because it functions just like the one I had before, which is about 17 years old. For instance, when I want to take the netural log of 5, I can press "5" then press the function key "ln" and get the answer. To me this is really important because many other calculators require the input of "ln" first then the number "5". If you are as old school as I am, this one should be a nice choice.
By the way, unlike many other calculators, the bottons on this one are made of soft rubber rather than hard plastic.
