Casio Calculator Pricing
March 2023 update
Both models of Casio scientific are being updated this month
The fx-83/85GTX is becoming the fx-83/85CW, and the fx-991EX is becoming the fx-991CW
The new calculators have round buttons and many of them are in a different place
This is the biggest change in Casio calculators since VPAM was introduced for multi-line calculations
Both old and new models will be on sale until stocks of the old have run out
Pricing is not yet known, but will be updated once the new ones appear in stores
Casio fx-83/85GTX
The 83 is available in black, white, blue and pink, and uses one AAA battery
The 85 model is only available in black, and has a solar panel as well as battery backup
Our advice: choose the cheapest you can find! Neither the colour nor the solar is worth paying extra money for
If you are buying for a GCSE student and they are likely to do A Level Maths, you are better off buying the fx-991EX as this is allowed at GCSE and is essential for A Level. It will save you around £15 in the long run
