Do you think it was limited to smart stuff? Nuh uh!FX-991CW>somewhat faster integrals>4 tone LCD (wow!)but>almost all functions buried inside a clunky menu>alpha key for 3rd level functions? Multi operator syntax? you don't need those >what you DO need is 2 stupid up-down arrows that don't quite do same thing except sometimes they do>Slide cover is too durable, have this new cover where you have to literally pry it instead>btw were discontinuing 991EX for this ;-)>inb4 just use your computerthat's like saying "just use your phone" when you have a nice, physical keyboard. A dedicated calculator with its tactile feedback and being purpose built have its advantages.
>>107667264Hey I watched that youtube video too
>>107667264>(((classwiz)))
>>107667264 (OP)my younger sibling's teacher was advising their class to buy up the older models for this reasongood thing we already have the calculator
>>107667264CW is better>t. Have both>>107667367So OP is just repeating nonsense from a random jeet?
>>107667367I actually have both, when I experienced the displeasure that is using CW I was immediately repulsed by it. I ended up ordering a 991EX instead and got lucky with a geniune. I'm genuinely curious, just what kind of drooling retard could find CW more usable in any way?>>107667388Indeed, they're only dwindling in numbers and getting diluted by fakes that may or may not work>>107667414Hello
>>107667264I still have a legit fx-991EX that I never use, it's kinda beat up though, should I try to flip it now before casio (hopefully) makes a new non-shitty version?
>>107667264Honestly I'm still using the calculator my mum bought me in 1998, for anything more complex than the stuff it can do I just use a computer
>>107667473Wonder why it says "EXE".I have the one on the right btw, it carried me through my engineering degree
>>107667264I'd like the reason to buy any other calculator when picrel exists and allowed me to get through my whole degree.

>>107667264I have the EX, and it's great. In my 4th year of EE. Casio must be full of diversity hires by now.

>>107667601Sorry, meant to post this
>>107667583The 48G was my first RPN calculator! Slow as hell but beautiful machine. Anyway, I later switched to the TI 30X pro and never looked back. I even owned a HP42S once (which was like the flagship model) but nowadays math print it's just too comfortable to work with, especially for matrix operations.
>>107667613absolutely unemployable
>>107667555probably more of a "me" problem due to me being a slowpoke, but it has an equation solver that can solve for a variable. A quality of life thing for most but for me, I ended up scoring full marks in many questions thanks to itie you could input some retarded shit like "92π/x^2 = e^x" and it would just solve for x (≈3.287)>>107667575>>107667583Kino, also what was that>>107667587I also got mine for EE, served (and still occasionally serving) me very well
>>107667590>>107667613Heh. Is that all you've got?
>>107667626Yes even the graphical engine was amazing. I programmed the shit out of it with its LISP-like language.Anyway, did you buy this one from Ebay? It looks exactly like the one I sold some years ago (for instance the little crack on the right side of the minus sign).
>>107667621nothing but the best
>>107667617I managed to snatch them all for a 100€ recently. The 48g is what I keep at my desk, 48gx stays hidden in a safe (it's absolutely pristine) and the 50g is what I carry around, primarily for uni. Doing embedded swe, some EE here too.If our profs knew what the 50g is capable of, they'd expel me and implement mandatory calculator checks.>>107667626>also what was thatAttached wrong image initially :^)
>>107667723I still have my 49g. The blue one. That one was kind of a stinker, right?
holy kino
>>107667734iirc just the button layout was sub-par, although I don't know much about it. Although I find blue HP's cool.The 50g looks so horribly generic, although it has it's benefit, nobody would ever suspect it to be the last great engineering calculator.
>>107667264Why perfect a design over many years just to throw it away? Why does this always happen?
>>107667264I'm using a 991CW for machining work and it's alright but I barely scratch the surface of what it can do, and the menu system is definitely annoying. I'm gonna have to upgrade to pic related soon. >>107667583Classic HPs are so kino, I wish they made a machinist version
