New Power Casio

[david sanz]

Ok, so TI 36X Pro flies in circles around the Casio 991.

But if you go to the WallMart-like store to find on the shelf the usual Casio suspects, plus (incredibly) HP 300s, and even Canon X MARK I Pro!!!! and TI machines are nowhere to be found, I am afraid that your sale figures will suffer heavily inspite of mighty technical capabilities.

I know many people buy on-line nowdays, but even more people just don´t bother.

Two silly questions/coments:

Is this true?

And, why should a solar-cell powered machine time out? Do they? Really, I do not know and if they do I wonder why.[/align]


Edit:

sorry, just another silly question. The new Casio is able to solve simultaneous equations with four unknowns. Can TI 36X Pro do that, or is it limited to three?
I searched the TI website, but I was asked to register in order to be able to download the "guidebook" and it is not clear in the specifications.
I ask this because I have seen several times young students asking in forums for non-programmable calculators able to solve for more than three variables. Maybe this is what really matters for them when taking a decision over what model to buy.
