If we were given Casio’s Prizm calculators in math class, perhaps I wouldn’t have failed so dismally. Or perhaps I might’ve got even worse marks-spending the 60 minutes of every class looking for Solitaire and Minesweeper.
Looking more like some type of high-end specialized businessphone than a calculator, the Prizm has a 3.7-inch color LCD screen. Battery life is expounded to be an astonishing 140 hours (it does use 4x AAA batteries, mind), that means you may have it switched on for everything of the varsity week (and most of Saturday) before it fizzles out.
As for what the Prizm is capable of, well, it still plots graphs and solves every kind of calculations the mind-power is incapable of processing. Plus, it’ll give 15-year-olds a chance to pretend they’ve got really ” cool” smartphones. Don’t deny you didn’t ever fool around with them in school, pretending to phone one another.
The Prizm will go on sale next January for $130. [ Casio release ]
