Casio fx-CG50 Graphic Calculator (UK version)

This calculator is extremely good at its performed functions. It's an excellent choice for students studying at higher level education, and is well preferred over the other calculator choices. The calculator itself comes with many different options, and is still one of the most advanced calculators for its time. Its a very good quality and it's quite easy to use for simple calculations, however for more complex ones you will need to find out how to use it. Its quite a chunky calculator compared to most, and the weight of it is pretty heavy, but this means that it does the job quite fast and has a much longer battery life. For me, the battery life is around 14 months with moderate use, however if you use it more frequently then it may need to be changed much sooner.

My daughter has started A-Level maths and said this was the best calculator there was. Imagine my surprise and shock (I could have fainted) when she told me said calculator was £120....yes yes one hundred and twenty pounds. After a lot of umming and erring we decided to get it for her, wanting the best for her education. I am told it does basically everything but make you a cup of tea. It is large for a calculator but thats not surprising considering how much it does. It covers you for the whole of A-Level content and will help her through university as well. It has a colour screen and while I couldn't use it she was getting on wonderfully with it once she had got to grips with it. She has said you can upload python programs to it, draw graphs, do trigonometric functions and a whole host of other wonderful things (I couldn't quite believe it as I grew up with a calculator that had four functions....+, ×, ÷ and -)! This is beyond amazing for a calculator and is a real investment to your or your child's education. I am really pleased we bought it for her. I also read a review that said to get the protective case, incase you drop it and to keep dirt and dust out. This was an excellent idea and I ordered it with the calculator. I would advise anyone to do the same.

I bought this mainly because it offers financial functions as well as many others (sometimes hard to find). It has proved very useful already. I like the way I can save solver equations for later use (only one equation can be loaded at a time) and connect the calculator to my computer for backup purposes. This calculator is very powerful but be prepared to consult the manual for best results.

Before I bought this for my son I did research about this to see if it is allowed for GCSE plus for calculator it's high end price costing £118 but it is more expensive outside Amazon I found. It's has approval from exam boards which can be seen on Casio website. My son used the fx-CG50 said it's amazing it could understand maths better plus it has periodic table showing each element in detail. I asked my son will it help you better for GCSE maths, his reply was yes I think I will get much better grade with this calculator. Price I will say it is expensive 🫰 but if it helps to improve education by a bit it's cheap ☺️ Quality is amazing on this it's colourful display. It has it own charging port to charge when battery life is low. Quantity of ways of doing maths is amazing showing graphs etc ... Weight is good too and efficiency of the product looks amazing 🤩 Overall I would say it was an excellent buy to invest in my son future. 😃

This is the big brother of the 991EX, looks similar with the carbon fibre finishing, although the key layout varies a fair bit from that model. First impressions out of the box are that it's a lot bigger than the standard Calc, and it used 4 'AAA' batteries, I would prefer a rechargeable battery, but I suppose this keeps the cost down. You get a USB cable in the box to update the CG50 and connect it to your PC. There are masses of functions here, including conic sections, graphing, Python programming even a Periodic table. It can be quite difficult to find things that were just keys on the 991EX, but after an initial panic, pressing menu 1 gets a standard calculation screen up. Its natural competitor is the TI 84 which is a bit more expensive in the UK (about £130, depending on spec) and the CG50 is superior to the TI84 as it's faster and with a better screen, although the price has jumped from up to £110 over summer. The CG50 has a great screen, and calculations persist between sessions. I'm impressed with it, having colour on your charts really shows up the lines well. It's a big jump up from even the £90 Casio b&w Casio calculator. So should you buy it? I think it's a great graphing calculator and will help any A level student to understand functions, graphing and Conic sections. I think it improves your chances, and some of the Pearson books have examples using this calculator. Recommended.

Tout allait bien. Pas de problèmes ou de défauts.

Calculator product delivered as expected. Feedback for sender - need better packing. The box arrived a bit damaged. For a calculator of this price it’s at risk of being damaged in transit.

nice product. rcvd as expected.

The calculator arrived with lot of scratches on the screen its like it was been used before.

Ich habe den Casio fx-CG100 mit dem HP50g hinsichtlich einiger Funktionen verglichen. Sehr schön ist die graphische Darstellung (siehe Bilder). Für die Funktionen wird die Ableitungsfunktion allerdings nicht angezeigt. Es werden nur ein paar Werte tabellarisch angezeigt. Der HP50g zeigt die berechnete Ableitungsfunktion (erste und zweite) an. Beim HP50g kann ich Verzeichnisse anlegen, lokale und globale Variablen sehr flexibel selber definieren. Beim Casio ist die Anzahl der Variablen (Alpha, Function, Vector, Matrix, List) vordefiniert. Im Catalog sind die mathematischen Themen wie " Function Analysis". Auch dort wird der Wert angezeigt, aber nicht die Funktuon. Beide Rechner können so viel, so dass ich noch nicht alles ausprobiert habe. Der Casio ist ein guter Rechner, der auch viele Variavlen wie zum Bsp. die Lichtgeschwindigkeot, Masse Proton, Elektron u.s.w. drin hat und das Periodensystem mit Erklärung (Hilfe). Das fand ich gut. Beim HP50g muss man diese Variablen erst eintippen. Programme können bei beiden Rechnern geschrieben werden. Beim Casio in Python, dass mit Python unter Linux nicht viel gemeinsam hat. Beim HP50g geht dss kurz und knackig. Der ist sehr effektiv. Ich werde beide Rechner nutzen, um meine Berechnungen vom Studium (Mathe, Thermodynamik, Wärmeübertragung, Klimatechnik, Mechanik u.s.w) und weitere Vergleiche anstellen. Ich hatte einfach Spass daran, knackig Aufgaben von vor langer Zeit wieder zu lösen.
