Does any one knows this good looking little thing?
How are keyboard and screen? I find the design extremely attractive but not confident with actual keyboard comfort. Any review or testimonial?

Really wonder how the keyboard feels because I don't trust those flat shiny plastic keys very much. Also, comparing Eddie's picture with those for the X-Mark, it looks like the X-Mark has a bigger and much better screen. But this could be just a picture thing. It is a pitty it cannot be seen anywhere around me. The calculator market looks quite down and nowadays you only find students calculators in super market (that might explain why the Prime is primarily for students).(07-09-2014 08:32 PM)Tugdual Wrote: [ -> ]Does any one knows this good looking little thing?

It is indeed a nice looking low cost machine, that I may acquire one of these days to join my other kind of similar (features wise) Casio FX-991DE PLUS.
Here some info, including a review by Eddie for the American version (F-792SGA):

I was reading what this Japanese review said about it, and they were not nice on Canon, as they claim that this calculator is more about good looks than anything else.

IIRC, it was discussed here already. Must be in the archives.
