The
TI-1750-III carries a famous name, it seems to be the successor of the first TI
LCD calculator, the TI-1750.
Well, to be honest to you,
under the hood this calculator is nothing else than another design of the original TI-1030
calculator. Not as exciting as the TI-1760 DataCard.
The same housing was used for the Time
Manager sporting an integrated clock with two 24-hour alarms and a stopwatch.
If you compare the sales prices of three (internaly identical) calculators you'll notice:
| $10 TI-1001 | |
| $12 TI-1031 | |
| $15 TI-1750 III |
That's the power of marketing!
