Great features, poor construction.......2006-09-23

I have read consistant reviews on all the different sizes of this drive of poor constructions - the plastic breaks very easily. But this was the ONLY drive on the market that had the features I want - specificly, encrypted and non-encrypted portions, non-U3, and the ability to attach a lanyard/keychain to the actual drive, NOT THE CAP (which is a really stupid idea - one day you'll wind up with a cap and a missing drive).

Unfortunately, its all true - The cap has complete disintegrated after carrying the drive around for a few months. I can buy more, but I resent having to do so. Additionally, one of the two snaps that holds the caps on has also broken off, and that I CAN'T replace unless I replace the entire drive. So far the cap is not falling off, but if the other one falls off...

VERY POOR QUALITY.......2006-05-10

We purchased 21 of these. 20 out of the lot are defective. The Lightning "Jump Drives" have a rubber/plastic molding that holds the front and back of the jump drive together. The cap is built the same way. Upon removing the drives from the package, and removing the caps, most of them cracked and parts of the plastic fell off. We contacted Lexar (brush up on your Indian language skills before calling) and did not get anywhere with them..... I would NOT recommend buying from Lexar. We returned the products to PC Mall, and exchanged them for SanDisk Cruzer Titaniums. MUCH BETTER!

Excellent drive!.......2006-02-27

Build quality on this guy is top notch. I really like the heavier, more solid feel of it being metal.

Speeds are quicker than what I was accustomed to using other drives @ work.

Wish it came with a lanyard, but I had one to use anyway.

Bought it from T@rget for twenty-nine dollars and nintey-five cents.

Fast speeds, anyone? In a nice case? Yes, please..........2006-02-01

OK, so I have only used the thing like 3 times, but it's already very impressive! BUT being a flash pen, I will have to update my review in a couple months... ANYWAY, first reactions:
- The steel-feel case is great! I love the feel and weight of it, it even comes with a felt cloth so you can polsih it! You quickly realize that there's plastic insides, but its well-hidden. The cap does come off... you could loose it, however because of the steel casing it's larger and more visible, making it harder to loose.
- Transfer speeds are fast! I dont think it's a speed-demon but it's certainly one of the fastest USB Flash Drives out there for 50 bucks! You
- There's included software to protect your documents but I dont know if it's any good and I probably will never use it.

CON: Made in China. :)

So far I am not regretting this purchase, and even if it lasts me just 1 1/2 years, i'll be happy at $50!

Additonal Casio Classpad300 Plus (OS 3.0) review.......2007-05-10

I have owned numerous calculators by HP, TI, Sharp, Casio, etc., but this new Classpad 300 Plus released in February 2007 with Casio's latest operating system (OS 3.0) and Classpad Manager 3.0 is just fabulous. It is now in common use in Europe, especially in Germany and also in Australia and in New Zealand. If you purchase(d) the version with OS 2.0, you can still upgrade electronically to the newest version using the Classpad Manager Version 3.0 directly which has a number of very nice new features/functions. This calculator should also be in common use in the USA as well, but regrettably the financial dominance of TI in our marketplace (and the impending arrival of the new TI NSpire calculator) make the likelihood of its acceptance very soon quite small, unless people like myself write reviews like this to promote educators to really get involved with this new product. The real advantage of both the Classpad as well as the TI NSpire calculator (which is not a pen-based product like the Classpad) is the great software that installs on PC's so that a complete emulation of its operations is possible even without the calculator being physically available. It addition, however the Casio (OS 3.0) will do now do Dirac Delta functions, Heaviside Step functions, Fourier and Laplace Transforms (including Fast Fourier Transforms, i.e., FFT's), First order ordinary differential equations, financial analyses, and of course it already performed complex number analyses, etc.
The operating feature on the Classpad that appeals to me the most however is the pen-based drag and drop operations using the Computer Algebra System (CAS) and the interactive menu between each of the numerous types of submenus on the device. Any operation worked on in one area (Graphs and Tables for example) can readily be copied and pasted into another area (Statistics, Spreadsheets, Sequences, etc) just to name a few of the numerous possibilities. The E-activity submenu on the Casio supports presentations to an audience and is the analog for the Classpad of the TI NSpire's 4 screens of information that can all be put on to a single screen at once (analyzing a problem using a geometrical representation in the form of a drawing or a picture, a word statement of the problem, an analytic or numerical equation solution and a graph of the results). Finally, the results can all be ported back and forth and printed/stored, etc. between the Classpad Manager software/emulator and the calculator itself which is simply fantastic to use. I have had this for almost three months now and I am really just begining to appreciate what it can do for me daily in my work as a scientist. If students get exposed to these devices in a late middle school curriculum and beyond (after they first master many of the basics of mathematics and science), in my opinion they will want to continue to grow into math and science in their later years and become excited leaders in science and engineering that this country has been famous for having for most of the last 60 years.

Classpad 300 PLUS.......2006-02-07

The Bad

first of all i have no complaints about the screens contrast but but my gripe is that the screen seems low on qaulity, why has the fx series at £60 got colour when this doesnt - this would help to make the overcrowded screen become more approachable.

While using a stylus may be fun, the novlety wears of and you find yourself doing basic calculations in your head as doing it on the calculator takes longer. In fact most of the functions with vague icons you learn about in the instructions not by intuition.

i dont think its worth £150, the only thing i can see being worth a lot is the operating system, everything else, the screen, bulid quality, stylus, software, plastic cover are below par. i know a palmtop with good software while losing a few features is the same price but better quality

The Good

Once you learn to use its interface, you have an extremely flexible machine. powerful and useful for most mathmaticians or engineers. i have found even very advanced expressions are catered for in the softkeyboard. 3d graphing is still simple to use and is one application where the classpad shows its uniqueness, while complex functions are graphed much quicker than lesser models. i see it as a small extension to my pc, allowing me to check processes that may take longer to implicate in more detail on the computer itself. microsoft derived toolbars are easier to use and provide convienient functions such as cut/paste,save,select all etc, therefore although you get confused occasionaly you are rarely lost in its interface.

conclusion

As a student i find this calculator useful and i know it will have greater use once i graduate, but its probably too much for an average student or smalltime number cruncher. Either for somebody who is on a very steep maths learning curve or a professional- ie not me.

New "Classpad 300 PLUS" has enhanced screen.......2005-10-17

The major drawback of the Casio classpad 300 was its screen. The constrast was so poor that it was hardly usable at all.

Now Casio have replaced the Casio Classpad 300 by the Casio Classpad 300 PLUS, with a dramatically enhanced screen. The constrast is now very good under most lighting conditions. The operating system has also been enhanced, offering amongst other things a choice between the standard characters set and a bold characters set.

All in all, this makes the Casio Classpad 300 PLUS one of the most powerful, integrated and easy-to-use graphing calculator ever.

Bad screen, poor documentation, lopsided CAS.......2005-08-24

First off, I bought this calculator more out of excitement and curiosity than need. I thought a touch screen interface would be a wonderful thing for a calculator, and the descriptions leading up to the ClassPad's release were tantalizing and exciting. To sum up, what I feel I actually have is a strange mixture of poor planning and deep insensitivity to users' needs.

The display contrast is terrible. And if you try to remedy this with a strong light source, you trade horrible contrast for double images caused by shadows. The 'screen protector' Casio provides is no help, either. It adds a reflection problem to the mix.

The huge amount of screen real estate seems like it would be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it is used by the calculator's OS with stunning inefficientcy. Even performing basic calculations can be frustrating. As soon as you bring up the soft keyboard, a full half of your screen is lost. Answers or problems that exceed one line are simply truncated, followed by an ellipsis and a tiny, tiny triangle you must tap to see the rest of the line. There is no way to display the whole line at the same time.

The touch screen interface, the most intriguing aspect of this calculator for me (before purchase), is very poorly implimented. The calculator has a very basic keypad for entering numbers and basic functions. It also has dedicated keys for three variables, x, y and z. Oddly, they have no keys for storing anything in these variables. The only way to do it is using the 'soft keyboard', a touch screen keyboard with several panels of keys, all of which are quite tiny and very difficult to see due to the poor display. Imagine being in an engineering or technical environment and having to pull out a stylus every time you wish to do anything but the basic four functions. You cannot lay this calculator on a table and use it with one hand effectively, unless you wish to try to balance the stylus in your remaining fingers as you enter numbers, then flip it about to use it on the soft keyboards. And yes, you must use the stylus. All the soft keys are far too tiny to be used with a fingertip.

The documentation is bewildering. Individual commands and functions are often explained in relation to other commands and functins, and examples are given with no remarks or explainations. The upshot is that when you need to understand a function, you often have to make several trips to various indexes, back to pages that explain other functions, only to be driven back to the indexes again. To top it off, many functions have bewildering, counterintuitive names. What might be a self-contained 'if' command in another calculator or in a spreadsheet, for instance, is called 'piecewise' in the ClassPad.

The CAS is odd. As a matter of fact, the entire operating system is confusing at times. Menus are arranged in strange ways, icons on toolbars give few clues as to what function they perform. The built-in applications are not even loosly tied together, save by obscure system variables whose names are all but meaningless to humans. There's a plethora of functions and commands, but there is odd and glaring omissions as well. Who has seen a recent scientific calculator, for instance, that has no engineering format for the display? Only the ClassPad.

Programmability of this calculator is weak. It is especially difficult to prompt users for input, as there are odd limitations on things like input and output commands. And, of course, the poor, difficult to use documentation does not help.

This is a machine with tremendous potential that is marred by poor implimentation, and after having one for some years now, I see no signs of improvement. I would strongly advise anyone considering this calculator to visit the Universal Calculator Forum's ClassPad area. Read it carefully before investing in this expensive but frustrating machine. In my book, it is not a practical calculator for anyone, though some students seem to like it. Use this URL- http://www.casiocalc.org/ and click on the ClassPad forum.

THE BEST AND EASIEST CALCULATOR EVER!.......2005-04-22

This calculator is amazing! It does everything the Texas Instruments ones do and even much better! It's very easy to use. Drag and drop. I think this should be the standard for the next generation calculators. The battery lasts forever! I don't see any problem with the LCD screen at all. It's CRYSTAL clear even under below average light conditions. Even my younger brother in elementary school has no problems using it at all! I bought one for myself and another for my fiance!
