Amadana’s Sexy Designer Calculators
January 24th, 2008
TI-83? Hideous Rarely cool. TI-Nspire? Well, those are kind of awesome. How about the Casio fx-300MS? I'd rather barf than use that thing! Just look at these amazing calculators by Japanese appliance designer Amadana.
The calculators above are the LC-104 series and they cost about 65 clams. That's a small price to pay for such features as "Hugging Texture" and "Light Key Touch". It's not about complexity here folks, it's about simplicity and style. Plus, Amadana is kind enough to give complimentary safety warnings for using the calculator properly:
Sure they may not have an X^Y button or any trigonometric functions, but honestly, if I was cool enough to own one of these I'd be willing to calculate those things from first principles.
You wanna step your game up? Then get 1 of 500 limited edition color series with stunning sharkskin case. A $350 calculator like this is a serious investment in top notch calculations. It essentially pays for itself after you start charging $1 per calculation for your friends per day for 1 year.
Okay, if your first year chemistry course was as big as mine, 500 units worldwide might not be exclusive enough. The last thing you want is to be seen with the same calculator as a friend. Amadana recently collaborated with British fashion brand Eley Kishimoto and made 250 super stylish limited edition calculators available on Colette for $370.
So what type of calculator do you use? I use a Casio FX-300

I use Sharp... but I don't know the model off hand. Sigh. It's that one that like, everybody has. Which is useful because I'm ALWAYS forgetting how to do polar co-ordinates with it, so people can teach me. But it's usually easier to just draw out the j axis and calculate it myself. Darned calculators.

Oooo those are slick.
I'm still pretty partial to my TI-Little Professor

It keeps you sharp even with preprogrammed questions!
I have an old 1970s era postorder entry calculator but I can't remember who from... I'll double check sometime when I'm home.
And the calculator I use for school is the Casio fx-991MS... top of the standard calculator line
