About Texas Instruments TI-503 SV Standard Function Calculator
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
84% appreciated its long battery life
I have never changed the battery, indicating a very long battery life.
For something that is battery powered and has no solar power, it's a great choice.
75% found the button easy to use, but 25% found it difficult
I dislike the rubbery buttons as they do not provide tactile feedback when a number is pressed, unlike hard buttons.
Sometimes the keys are touchy and result in multiple instances of the same key on the screen, causing the entire calculation to start over. Sometimes the keys just don't want to be pressed at all.
95% praised for its clear display, while 5% found it difficult to read.
The screen size is large.
The calculator has a large display and easy-to-use buttons. It's just the right size and can be read without glasses.
The calculator screen does not have a small 'flicker' when a function is pressed, making it difficult to know if the input has registered or not.
Sometimes the digital numbers on the screen can be faint, which is frustrating.
84% appreciated its durability
I have been using this calculator for many years without any problems, indicating its durability.
84% liked its ergonomic design, but 16% found it uncomfortable to hold.
The calculator is comfortable to hold with a slightly curved shape and is slightly larger than a Blackberry.
I compared the TI calculator with other calculators and found that its firm plastic buttons are easy to press and use quickly without mistakes.
The size of the calculator is a definite plus as it fits nicely in a shirt pocket without creating a bulge and is also the right size for a purse.
The calculator is difficult to use with one hand due to its extra width and slippery plastic, possibly because of poor ergonomics design.
94% liked its compact size
The calculator has a comfortable grip due to its slightly curved shape and is slightly larger than a Blackberry.
The calculator is very lightweight and small, and the size of my hand.
The calculator's size is a plus point as it easily fits in a shirt pocket or purse without creating a bulge.
