You actually plan on returning from Akihabara?
jnaina 3 hours ago||
Yeah, Akihabara is really hard to walk away from. Treasure troves at every corner, surprises down every staircase, and somehow always one more shop you "have to" check out before leaving.

About $600 apparently. The regular S100X is $350.

Where can you buy it for that price?

Nowhere at that price; as noted above, scores of them for sale on eBay from $1,100-$$2,000 + $300-$500 shipping

There's also a Hokusai range of calculators I saw at yodobashi camera Yokohama this spring. It was 60$,I didn't buy it but I kind of wish I did.

I don't understand how one would buy it. Any help?

Just bought this one from a Japanese eBay dealer with many very good reviews, so fingers crossed no scam:
Yes, you will pay more than the original price. But once every 30 years or so I don’t give a fuck, I want this because the video showed a man working on it who cared.

Only available in Japan, you will need a reseller or a forwarding company to purchase it. Already sold out.

3-key rollover instead of n-key rollover?? Pass…

How many 4-function calculators have n-key rollover? What would that even be used for? Are you touch typing on the calculator at 100 digits per minute?

I feel like the parent comment was sarcasm

100 digits per minute is less than two per second, I feel like most people exceed that.

I bet watching people use a calculator by poking at it with one finger drives you absolutely homicidal.

Why is everyone on HN so fascinated with calculators? Was that your first real pc that you could program?
retired 3 hours ago||
Unironically yes. Plenty of millennials I know learned how to program on their TI-83.

Not me! I didn't have a TI, I had a Casio calculator and wrote games on that during math class.

It's not about the calculator. I don't even know how to use one beyond basics. Similiar like luxury watches. I can't even read the time. It's about the craftsmanship .

It's a reliable piece of equipment you can ask 2+2 and get 4 every time, unlike the modern LLM that will give you a story about why it's actually five.

buttons ? knobs ? we are fascinated by machines. It's curiosity about the inner workings of the machine and fascination by the mistery of the closed box. you can observe that in certain kids
