About Texas Instruments TI-36X Pro Engineering/Scientific Calculator
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
87% praised the crisp and clear display, while 13% found it lacked brightness
When I enter a negative number for conversion, the calculator gets temperature conversions wrong.
The display quality is not as elegant as the Casio 991 I used earlier.
95% appreciated the sturdy and durable build, though 5% found it flimsy
I have been using the TI-83+ for over 10 years for all my engineering calculations and I love it. It would be very difficult to change.
The connections between the plastic parts are loose and it seems like it can fall apart at any time. The plastics are not strong enough because of low quality material.
95% appreciated the ergonomic design for comfort, though 5% found it uncomfortable
I feel that the design lacks proper ergonomics and aesthetics, although the calculator itself is great.
I find the design of the calculator frustrating, especially the silver function buttons on the side that are hard to see in an office environment due to glare.
I cannot see six of the most used function buttons no matter what angle, indicating a poor ergonomic design of the office-electronics product.
78% loved the responsive and quiet keyboard, but 22% found it unresponsive
I am disappointed with the keypad quality of the calculator. It has no tactile feedback and feels like pressing a wobbly marshmallow.
The main function keys are very hard to read.
78% liked the quiet operation, but 22% found it noisy
I find the silver keys for +, -, X, & / completely unreadable with my old eyes.
The calculator is not pleasant to use.
I find it difficult to use the calculator as the operator keys are in BRAILLE. I had to memorize the keys.
94% loved the fast and efficient performance, but 6% experienced lag
As an HVAC engineer, I've noticed that the device gets temperature conversions wrong when a negative number is entered. This is not ideal.
