The
TI-1796SV looks great - you won't find any right angle in the design. Curious
about the SV letters ? It is the abbreviation of "Super View" which
implies the perfect reading of the LC-Display.
One
of the advantages of this calculator is the usage of both solar cells and a
small battery. Everything else is typical for a modern calculator manufactured
in China.
Don't miss the TI-1795SV with only 8 digits display
capability and the earlier TI-1796+.
A similar shaped housing was used with the €-1796
introduced
in the same year. Don't miss the rare prototype of
the €-1796.
