229 Functions - 2 Lines - 10 Characters - LCD - Solar, Battery Powered - MPN: FX300MS
Strengths: Can do several types of two-variable (i.e., y and x) regressions. 10 variables available for temporary number storage during calculation.
Weakness: To me, the V.P.A.M. (Visually Perfect Algebraic Method) of data entry is its biggest weakness.
Well, this calculator is inexpensive with lots of functions. In this aspect it serves the purpose of a calculator very well. However, personally I find the data entry method counterintuitive. For instance, if I want to take the netural log of 5, I have to press the function key "Ln" first then the number "5", the way as if you have a formula in front of you and you want to follow the formula exactly. However, I am more comfortable with the way old calculators work: Press "5" first then press the function key "Ln" to get the answer. Depending on your preference, you may find the V.P.A.M. good or bad.

TopStrengths: Large display, remembers previous calculations, duo power.
Weakness: No dedicated off button.
Been using this calculator for a few weeks. Mainly for basic engineering calculations. It's very fast and easy to use. Large display is a plus. Also it remembers previous calculations with the "replay" buttons. Very convenient. DEL button works as backspace, which is very important. Duo power is great. The only slightly annoying thing is that OFF is shift+AC. I would prefer a dedicated off button for quickly turning it off.

TopStrengths: Dual power (solar & battery). Permitted to use on SAT & PSAT/NMSQT exams. 2 line display
Weakness: None found so for
Easy to handle. Dual power is added advantage to save battery life. Allowed to use in SAT, PSAT exams is nice. All the expected scientific functions are there and hence very useful for Diploma and Engineering students. Very good value for the cost paid. Would recommend others to buy

TopStrengths: Many built-in math functions Solar powered w/battery backup Clear display Compact size
Weakness: None
My old sharp scientific calculator just broken down after six years use. This calculator has come in handy when I have a lot of physics and classical algebra homeworks to do. This is the best calculator I have purchased to this date. It is student friendly to use and not bulky. I would recommend this great calculator to every one.

TopStrengths: two-line display, can use solar power.
Weakness: none so far
Casio did a good job on making this calculator. It has 2-line display and can use both battery and solar source as power, which is very good in my mind. It also comes with a slide-on hard case, providing enough protection. I recommend it.

TopStrengths: Has all functions but for Calculus
Weakness: No Calculus
Dual powered. very inexpensive compared to others in the functional range. Comes with a protective hard case/cover. Acceptable for use in SAT. very responsive with a dual line display. Recommend.

TopStrengths: Two-way solar and battery power, recent calculations memory, handles very large numbers
Weakness: none really for the price
I just needed a pretty standard calculator, and this one does everything I need, and more. It's very easy to use and has a handy "recent calculations memory" which you can step back with up/down arrow keys on the calculator. It also handles very large numbers, unlike many simple calculators and I can definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't necessarily need graphs and things like that.

Good calculator
Strengths: Two way power_Battery and solar; Two line display good for continuous calculates. Many functions.
Weakness: not very convenient to access previous data.
Reasonable price with double line display and two way power save a lot of battery. Functions are complete for engineering or college students. The keys touches good for me. I think it is a very useful tool for college students.
