What's the current go-to calculator for electrical engineers?

Well, presactly. It's pointless (ho ho) typing numbers if you then have to pop up menus or hover-hints and stuff. Just quicker and simpler to do the whole thing with the GUI.

Yeah, crazy that they use the same primary model number for vastly different calcs. For basic daily use the MS would be more suitable, and it has the engineering exponent keys.
You have to take your hat off to the EX though for removing the primary HYP key.

Super useful and practical for all RLC circuit computations /Zo/ with ranges to 100 M Ohm, 1 GHz, 1 femtoF etc.

I still have two, the cursor plastic is easily damaged.

Bon Chance,

That's a nice blast from the past... "cycles" instead of Hertz, "millimicro", "micromicro" and "millimicromicro" instead of nano, pico and femto.

Well not yet using shortcuts but I might be less ambivalent about this one that my earlier posts suggest. I might go as far as to say it is kind of OK.
