    Good buy if it's in stock, on the Board of Studies approved calculators list.

  • kheob on 16/07/2011 - 00:49

    I have that exact one and have been using it since 2007! It's a fantastic calculator.

  • ironworthy on 16/07/2011 - 00:49

    No deal in Vic! Online anyway

  • morphio on 16/07/2011 - 00:51

    Always need an extra on exam day.

    seen to be available around mulgrave 3170

    • ironworthy on 16/07/2011 - 01:05

      at the store or online?

  • phoenix17 on 16/07/2011 - 01:17

    Where was this deal when I lost my calculator on exam day :( Exact model I lost too..

    On-topic: Will be checking out the Wollongong officeworks tommorow and stock up on this in case I lose more :P

    • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2011 - 03:57

      LOL, I remember losing a calculator like this on exam day too (years ago)… had to buy one for $30 or so from the uni newsagent. Price gouging in a captive market FML.

    A great addition to my TI-83.

        All these bad puns are giving me a natural log.

      Can't play Drugwars on it, though. :)

  • citybargainhunter on 16/07/2011 - 03:00

    great, just what I need.

  • POWERevolution on 16/07/2011 - 03:06

    no stock

  • browser on 16/07/2011 - 08:29

    Great price! But I would rather use a HP that supports RPN for any serious calculations. For short calculations this should be fine, good to see it can do base-n.

    can't you just get an app for your smart phone to emulate this functionality?

    • 2true2btrue on 16/07/2011 - 09:57

      I don't think the use of smart phones is allowed in exams mate.

    • Crownanchor on 16/07/2011 - 10:48

      There are already apps out there, HP has some but the ratings are currently not good for the high end calculators on iphone, they dont seem reliable at the moment.

    • cheepwun on 16/07/2011 - 20:28

      Maybe there's some good software out there for smartphones, but dedicated devices will never die.

      1) far greater battery life
      2) tactile buttons for far greater ease-of-use
      3) comfortable size
      4) screens that don't wash out in the sun
      5) instant on/off
      6) can be used when the phone's battery is flat, in multiple locations too (at this price)

      Basically, if you use these things often, a real calculator is the only way to go. Most touchscreens need big buttons to eliminate mistakes (so they can't show as many things on the screen at the same time), or you have to use some pointing device to hit the buttons showing on the screen. Not half as convenient as the real deal. May be OK for casual use though.

      It's no fx550 from the 80's.

  • iceagepig on 16/07/2011 - 14:49

    remembered use to buy them for 100 bucks from highschool, so expensive

    seriously ozbargains shud just not allow OW threads , coz they are usually down to clearance when theres like 3-4 stock left.. and theres no point.
