I’m in need of replacing my Casio, Sharp, and TI scientific calcs.

Last I heard Sharp’s EL-W516X, TI’s TI-36X Pro, and Casio’s FX115 Plus were the masters. So, what are the current models?

Thanks!

The nearest replacement for the EL-W516X would be the EL-W516T (in NA) or EL-W506T (in EU).

The TI-36X Pro (NA) and TI-30X Pro MultiView (EU) are still current but there is a newer model called the TI-30X Pro MathPrint that only(?) seems to be sold in German speaking parts of Europe, currently. It's about twice as fast as the old model.

The best replacement for the FX-115ES Plus (NA) or FX-991ES Plus (EU) would be the FX-991EX ClassWiz (or regional variants). There are also some recent cosmetically restyled versions of the ES Plus series known as the ES Plus 2nd edition series, such as the FX-115ES Plus 2nd edition (NA) and FX-991ES Plus 2nd edition (EU). Apart from arguably better looks, there is no benefit in upgrading to the 2nd edition calculators, but the ClassWiz series are worth upgrading to.
