About this deal

The Casio Basic variant on these calculators is a more comprehensive version: string functions, additional control and branching statements

Even thought the fx-9860GII has a larger screen, it still has the same amount of dots or pixels. Both calculators have 128 X 64 dot screens. Unlike the fx-CG50, it doesn't currently have the casioplot Python module, so no graphics. I'm not sure if that's coming in the future or not. It's also obviously not a color screen, and the pixel size is in fact a bit smaller than the fx-9860GII and fx-9860G Slim (resolution is still 128x64). I suspect it's about the same as an fx-9750GII, but I don't have one to compare to. Complete the short form that accompanies your product. Please ensure that you complete all of the sections, as this will guarantee the timely processing of your return/exchange.The calculators can be programmed in different ways. The fx-9860G's come with a built-in BASIC-like interpreter ( Casio BASIC), allowing the user to create simple and complex programs using built-in functionality.

The other difference regarding the screens is that the Casio fx-9860GII has a built in light and the Casio fx-9750 does not. The fx-9860GII's light can be toggled on and off, and is actually very helpful in dark or dimly lit situations. The calculator supports connecting to computer via USB cable. USB connectivity requires installation of USB driver and Program Link software (FA-124) from the bundled CD-ROM. Next is the "S-SHT" (spreadsheet) app. This is just a basic spreadsheet editor where you can enter values or equations into cells and save them for later. Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes.

There are several versions of the fx-9860G; the standard fx-9860G, often referred to as the 'vanilla' flavor, and the SD, AU and Slim versions. New sleek styling, powerful improved processor for faster graphing, Python, USB connectivity (cable included) and 3MB Flash ROM The AU version used to limit the amount of internal flash memory available to 800Kb to meet Australian school regulations, although it has now been upgraded to 1.5MB. The keyboard feels nice, and is very responsive - I actually like it more than the keys on my fx-CG50, though I think I still like the fx-9860G Slim keyboard a tiny bit better. It definitely responds better to weak or off-center presses than the Prizm does.

serial Ire Casio manufactured graphing calculators. Some of the improvements compared to older models are: Natural Display, a USB port, flash memory, upgradeable OS (through ROM updates) and a high contrast display LCD. The SD variant comes with an SD expansion card slot, allowing read and write access up to 2 GB of memory on a SD memory card. Along with the textbook display the fx-9860GII also gives answers in exact simplest form. This is unlike the Casio fx-9750 which only gives answers in decimal form. Below are some examples of what the fx-9860GII can do in therms of giving exact answers. If you require any further information relating to the Delivery service used, please call us at +44 (0)20 8208 9567.The only other difference between the software is that the Casio fx-9860GII has 3 additional apps that do not come on the Casio fx-9750GII. The first of these and probably the least used is the "E-ACT" (short for eActivity). This is used to create more complex programs mostly designed for teaching students a math concept. Finally, there's the Geometry app which allows you to draft shapes and/or lines and do other things like attach measurements of angles or line segments. This would really only be useful for a geometry student who wanted to experiment with different 2D shapes. The Casio fx-9750GII still does not have the capability to display some expressions as they would appear in a textbook. It still uses the old method of display, using things like small "L"s for fractions and carrots for exponents. The Casio fx-9860GII however can print answers and take input in the way you would see them written out. Below is the same expression written on the Casio fx-9860GII and on the Casio fx-9750GII. Both of these calculators have low prices when compared with the rest of the market but there is still a significant price difference.
