The TI-1001 is another design of the original TI-1030 calculator. You should compare it with the TI-1031, the ET calculator and the TI-1750-III, too.

The TI-1001 was used as the base calculator for the TI-1850 Visor Kit and the TI-1880 Checkwriter.

This calculator was manufactured in Italy in April 1982 and compares to the second design of the TI-1001 built in the US. Please notice the different keyboard of the original TI-1001.

Don't miss the TI-1002 introduced already in 1983.



Find here an excerpt from the Texas Instruments Incorporated leaflet CL-199J dated 1981:

TI-1001

Economical, pocket-portable, six function calculator.

Almost everyone in the family can use it - around the house, in class, at the office - even outdoors. Sleekly styled, lightweight, thin as a pencil. Fits easily into a pocket, purse or brief case to go where you go. 
Get fast, accurate answers to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. Even square roots. A percent key automatically calculates percentages. Automatic constant feature eliminates the need to reenter a number in repetitive calculations. 
TI’s APD* automatic power down feature helps prevent accidental battery drain by turning off the calculator after approximately four minutes of non-use.
