First Look : Casio Classwiz fx-991CW | New Classwiz Review

[@SanghPath]

What we want in a calculator is fast input and fast calculation power. It takes several extra steps to solve an equation than the previous models. Ultimately it affected the user experience. We don't mind to adopt a new layout but it should be more efficient, less time consuming and logical

[@scramjet4610]

Than you need RPN.

[@CCXRacer.]

@@scramjet4610 RPN has a very hard learning curve and in many cases you need to think about how to enter in complicated expressions. Ultimately, its less efficient and much less user friendly.

[@scramjet4610]

@@CCXRacer. Not true at all. I can tell that you have not worked with it. You can enter complex, nested expressions without hardly thinking at all, versus algebraic entry, which would require a hierarchical mess of parentheses. As an EE., I've used it for a long time. The reason not to use RPN is that very few calculators use it because of this mistaken idea. Commit to using RPN for 3 weeks of heavy use, and you will see what I mean. It becomes second nature.

[@CCXRacer.]

@@scramjet4610You're right, algebraic entry is garbage because of all the parentheses that you need. However on the 991cw you can just use textbook entry. It's much more comfortable and easier to use.

This is the calculator needed for our MBA studies, which involved more statistical calculation and distribution.

[@ricardomateoperez2635]

Best way to approach the "format" issue is changing the input/output display to MathI/DecimalO in the calculator settings menu (Config -> Calc. config -> input/output -> MathI/DecimalO). That way you don't have to change the output format every time you get a fraction as the result is always shown in decimal format. The other way is clicking shift-EXE (≈) every time you perform a calculation, which can be a bit annoying being those keys so far apart from each other. My biggest dissapointment with the new CW, besides having so many functions hidden, is the colour palette they chose for the iberian market (fx-991SP CW - white and gold). The contrast between these two colors makes it a bit hard to see the alternative functions...

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

Yes this is addressed in another video. However it is worth noting that for some exams/course the initial exact answer may be preferred in a higher number of questions, so I guess it is user preference.

[@doyourealiseiamaghost5862]

In the exam, I need an easy toggling between fraction and decimal numbers😅

[@Maske4]

Reading some comments made me think that this calculator was harder to use and it made everything more tedious than older models like the 991EX for example, but having the actual calculator in my hands i can realize that everything is not that bad, it just fits more stuff inside a menu and the important stuff is on the outside. I consider this model to be more useful for students as some college/highschool students may find useful the menus to memorize and/or learn the name of most of the functions that weren't named before and they just knew the icon and what it does, and yeah, that may sound like a weak argument but we can leave the menu as a way of taste and availability as i couldn't find the 991 EX in my country but i could find this one faster.

[@ExtremeSquared]

I would have been annoyed by dumbing down a known UI when I was in the middle of an engineering class. Now that I'm working, 99% of work happens on keyboard and monitor, so the couple times a week I pull out a calculator, I'd rather it be intuitive than efficient.

I hope they keep producing the 991EX (The white class wiz). Love it as an A-Level FM student (won't be upgrading to this one now as the changes to the layout is too drastic) 2:53 - no shortcut is a problem (the most used is Menu -> A -> 2 -> 2 in GCSE lol) No way pi is not a button lol Functions is great but I can just use 'ans' 20:00 - seems like the EX doesn't have inverse binomial as well but it has inverse normal - might need to use a graphing for that

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

My guess is they probably won't as usually a new line means the discontinuation of the old one.

[@MrMarcec85]

Or use TI 🙃

[@BullsEye2.0]

[@ExtremeSquared]

I became a pro with a fx115es in engineering school, and it made sense to be deeply comfortable with how it worked because exams are a sort of artificial hardware limitation. But now I do almost everything on a computer, so the occasional times I want to pull out pen and paper and calculator, I'd much rather it be intuitive because I don't really have any reason to stay at the skill level I was at with my old calculator.

[@joseph_donovan]

Memo to Casio Calculator Engineers and Designers: Talk and listen to users in the field, like, for example, The Calculator Guide maths practitioner and teacher, before you light your josh sticks and release bosh like this! Why oh why move and hide the Ans(wer) key up to that lonely left corner and orphan it from the Exe key and kill the SD key which the whole world and beyond press during every calculator session? It looks to my untutored eye like the Casio calculator design bods spent too much time trying to copy features of the TI (Texas Instruments) calculators. Note the Catalog key! The FORMAT button is a pile of time-consuming tosh! They could have retained the SD function with a shifted FORMAT key! And what in tarnation is that shifted equals = key doing above the open left parenthesis key? Or is it an equals key? My dog Boo thinks it is! Oh, and when did three tiny circles indicate a universal symbol for TOOLS? Dear oh dear. If I was gifted a copy of the Casio CW calculator, I would give it to Boo to chuck in the air for catching practice! I love that dog, but, alas, I will never be flashing this calculator at cocktail parties or weddings! Garsoon! Fetch me my Classwiz fx-991EX. Mush!

[@MrMarcec85]

Yes. Bit the difference is that TI is implemented in a way that is LOGICAL and FAST, for example, with the multi- keys functions. It is different, but fast. Here it seems they kept the "Casio mind-set", but changed to a "TI design" and in my opinion it doesn't work. More: the nice thing was having and wotking with both TI AND CASIO, because each one was the best at a particular thing...

[@RichardBerler]

It appears as if this calculator allows one to define a function, and use it in calculations and solve as f(x), instead of having to rewrite the equation every time one wished to use the function that one has defined. It appears that one could choose the integration template and insert f(x) instead of rewriting the equation that was saved into f(x) for example…this is a notable improvement. I wonder if all but saved variables are lost when switching modes or turning the power off as is the case with the fx-991EX.

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

That is a great feature of this calculator

[@danielchan1668]

Yes, they are lost. Otherwise this model becomes programmable and examiners frown upon that!

[@MartinBeerbom]

I have the German version (fx-991DE CW), and here the functions are NOT lost when turned off. They can also be used in a lot more places throughout, like the spreadsheet, which is a major improvement over the predecessor DE X. Pity that the user interface changed so much into menus in order to declutter the keyboard (and then cluttered the menus by having every single function you can reach via keys are also somewhere in the menus). They also did not change the two different input modes for two variable functions (like permutation or polar coordinates transformation) (which you have to know beforehand, the calc doesn't remind you), and introduced some more ambiguity (it doesn't have a solve function in the normal calc mode, as the video explains it is moved to an app, but you can still enter equation and terms for the verify function, if you select verify via the tools button. The manual you can get online doesn't explain this. There are quite a few procedures it does not explain. Yet, I guess. The thing feels like a beta release. So a newer model may be better, but you have to buy a new one, as this thing does not seem to offer any way to update the firmware.)

[@doyourealiseiamaghost5862]

@@danielchan1668this is only true for China’s version the cncw one, the international version the cw will not be erasing all saved variables unless you reset the calculator😂

[@alexgrodecki2086]

Really annoyed by the lack of periodic table, I do A-Level chemistry and maths so it would have been nice especially considering the Japanese version of the fx-991ex has a periodic table.

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

Yes you have to have the CG50 in the UK to get a periodic table.

[@MrMarcec85]

Caveat: i find more user friendly and intuitive TI Scient. calc. That said. I appreciate the cleaner lay out, I think they copied a bit TI, with one only 2nd fucntion key etc... but In my opinion the ease of use has dropped.. to many functions have been hidden. And the menu, even if is more fancy than TI one, is not suited to be managed by this layout. Except for tiny improvements (math box: not necessary at all, with apps and other graphic calc...) i think the 991 EX is better, even if with a more messy layout and all those keys and left/ right upper keys. When you get used is fast.

The only way I've found so far is to just repeat the period/recurrence. For example input 0.166666666666666666666666 . If you put enough 6's in, the calculator will eventually recognise this as 1/6

The old fx-83GT plus calculator is a fabulous calculator. The latest cw version looks and feels cheaply built. The display characters are smaller and harder to read. Many operations need more button presses to achieve the same thing. I do not like it. It has caused the price of the old fx83 GT plus calculators to soar on eBay! Can't believe Casio has discontinued the old calculator. Casio made such good calculators, they had completely cornered the market wiping out other companies like Sharp et cetera but they really have lost the plot with the last two iterations of this market-leading calculator.

[@CalculatorCulture]

Having a large collection of modern and vintage Casio calculators I was surprised at how bold Casio was with the design changes on this one. For better or worse they have actually broken some design patterns that have been in Casio calculators for decades. I posted my own review where I was a bit more optimistic about the changes. I think for the average student the CW will be a lot easier to use than the EX, but it does come at the expense of speed of use. I appreciate you sitting on the fence about which calculator is "best" - it really depends on the user I think.

[@SanghPath]

What we want in a calculator is fast input and fast calculation power. It takes several extra steps to solve an equation than the previous models. Ultimately it affected the user experience. We don't mind to adopt a new layout but it should be more efficient, less time consuming and logical. And discontinuing the 991-ex is not a good decision by Casio

@@SanghPath What students want is to get good grades. That means being be able to understand and effectively use the features of their calculator to get accurate results and not make mistakes.

Obviously this new model is designed for people who does not prioritize input efficiency, but ease of use without the need to read the manual. I am personally the former, but I know many people who never read the manual and weren't aware of the features other than simple calculations. I personally don't care for this model, but understand why some people will find it much easier to use than the EX.

[@engineeringstuffs]

It now consistently returns the answer in decimal format rather than the standard mathematical notation, which was the practice in previous models. For example, when integrating cos(x)^2 from pi to 5pi, it provides the result as 6.28318530718 instead of the simpler and more understandable 2π. Converting 6.28318530718 to 2π isn't straightforward unless you assume it's a multiple of π Please correct me if i am wrong.

Once you have each step in the History stack, you’ll need to use the arrow keys to move up there History, select the step you want, and press EXE Tgen, it’s just moving through the history, selecting the steps and pressing EXE.

Company produces 1.47 x 10^7 sweets/day and 3.5 x 10^5 packets/day. Calculate mean no. of sweets in each packet. I input 3.5...and I get 4.2x10^11. Crazy. But when I perform the exact same calculation (same key strokes) on the fx-85GT PLUS, I get the correct answer (42 sweets/bag). The only way I have managed to get the correct answer is to enter the values in normal notation (i.e. with lots of zeros), not standard form. Is this a bug??

[@AndrewHollom]

Casio seems to have made a mistake in their implementation of (what used to be called) the EXP button, as it applies normal algebraic rules to x10^n, so 1/3.5x10^5 is worked out as if you'd typed "1", "/", "3", ".", "5", "x", "1", "0" "x^n", "5", which does the division (1/3.5) first and then the multiplication (Ans x 10^5). This is very misleading as it changes a fundamental aspect of how a calculation is performed and differs from previous models and other brands. What should happen is that a number in scientific notation should be treated as a single number, not a multiplication of two terms. A lot of people are going to get the wrong answer in this situation unless they apply the mantra my teacher advised many years ago "does it look reasonable?". I'm surprised at Casio for this blunder, which shows either a lack of testing or specification to test against, or a fundamental change in specification we only find out about by noticing its now odd behaviour, and they need to fix it.

[@ricardo-c4l7l]

@@AndrewHollom Andrew, I contacted Casio Customer Support and 'Mehak' says I should have used the button to input the numerator as 1.47x10^7, followed by inputting 3.5x10^5 in the denominator to get the correct answer.

where can I find that emulator? I don't see it on casio website...

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

It is available on Casio Classpad currently. Will hopefully be a downloadable emulator soon.

[@dimaminiailo3723]

@@TheCalculatorGuide I've visited classpad net and ain't able to find anything about online version maybe I'm too stupid idk...

Should I return my Casio 991 cw.....just bought an hours ago ?..I am not familiar with this new layout

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

No I wouldn’t. This will become the standard model going forward and you will just get familiar

emulator link?

5/2 to decimal : Shift>EXE

[@alio2269]

looks to have overcomplicated a lot fo the features

[@TheSuperUser]

The 991CW is a massive backwards step for the series and Casio. All they had to do was improve on the 991EX for example give it persistent memory and perhaps give it a better screen or CPU, but this refresh is just a joke. The design language is just awful - round keys?! This is more of a toy than a serious engineering tool. Now they have planned to do the same thing with the graphing models such as the FX-CG50. What has happened to you Casio?

[@glazeylonoby5686]

You know that sometimes most of the calculators have circular buttons so casio do this trend too *sigh*

[@pc4i]

Just save yourself a huge headache and go with a TI-30X Pro MathPrint, lol

[@kabulhaihai3678]

Sir should i buy fx 991ex or 991 cw ?

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

That’s up to you really. The fx-991ex will probably be discontinued soon I imagine. The fx-991cw is new and a bit unknown. Your choice really

[@evolutiondl1492]

I would avoid any CW calculator model.

[@zwatotem]

Funny, that you have "OK" at the center of the D-Pad, yet you still select menus with "EXE".

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

Yeah, both work.

[@thomaspaine5601]

The old fx-83GT plus calculator is a fabulous calculator. The latest cw version looks and feels cheaply built. The display characters are smaller and harder to read. Many operations need more button presses to achieve the same thing. I do not like it. It has caused the price of the old fx83 GT plus calculators to soar on eBay! Can't believe Casio has discontinued the old calculator. Casio made such good calculators, they had completely cornered the market wiping out other companies like Sharp et cetera but they really have lost the plot with the last two iterations of this market-leading calculator.

Where is multi statement button? , whren is clac button. Man this calculator is the example of one step forward 2 step backward

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

They seem to have removed the multi statement button on the newer models.

[@AnilShah-h4m]

Please tell me as soon as possible

[@James-th7wb]

Horrible calculator. I bought 991ex instead

[@evolutiondl1492]

Yeah I’m about to return this calculator and buy the 991EX as well. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the EX in any stores, and eBay looks like the only place where you can purchase it. Hopefully, it works as it should. EDIT: I returned it and bought the EX from ebay. Its not original but then again I don't think they sell the original anymore but it does the math that I need. No regrets. The 991EX is just better.

[@drdroidstein]

Guys the cw isn't that horrible, sure it takes a little more secs to calc because it has less button short-cuts, but it's processing time is considerably faster, so it cancels out the shirt-cut button time.

[@Crazytesseract]

This calculator is a major disappointment. With three Kashio brothers already gone, and the fourth one too old, what can be expected? I request you: don't bother with this calculator.

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

It will probably become the standard model though, so I probably will to keep up to date.

[@Crazytesseract]

​​@@TheCalculatorGuideThat is entirely up to you! What you say makes sense, however it has major design flaws in my opinion.

[@silverphoenix_1756]

Who thought the Format button was a good idea?

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

I like the name change, but it would have been so easy to make it a toggle and the menu as a shift feature

[@silverphoenix_1756]

@@TheCalculatorGuide yeah exactly. Other than that, I actaully like this one more than the 991ex model. It'd just need time to get used to I guess.

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

@@silverphoenix_1756 Agreed. The more I've worked with it the more I quite like it. Just getting used to different practices really.

[@TizedesCsaba]

There is NO CALC, NO SOLVE for ANY variable, NO multistatement (:) - this is an useless calculator, greatest drawback in CASIO's history.

[@TheCalculatorGuide]

The equation solver is now in the equation app. It has essentially been compartmentalised. You are right that I don’t believe there is a multi statement feature.

[@TizedesCsaba]

@@TheCalculatorGuide OK, but if you define a function with more variables (x and others), those vars do not shown in the numerical solver: let f(x)=A+x, jump to SOLVE and solve f(x)=10 equation for variable A if x=3. There is no SOLVE for A only for x. Or mybe I'm miss something?!? And where is CALC?

[@shaunbear13]

Unfortunately, they discontinued the old model, so now we are stuck with mimimalist garbage.

[@reinlepiku445]

very ugly calculator

[@glazeylonoby5686]

Your just still stuck on 991 ex right?
