- eliasson 5y agoNo, these calculators were fairly popular in Sweden as well (at least during the late 90s).

Anyone is free to pick whatever they wanted, so we had a mix of Casio, TI and HP calculators. The Casio Basic tablets were the most famous ones, FX-850P. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_FX-850P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_FX-850P I eventually had the follow up model FX-880P, after using FX-4500P during high school. https://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Pages/FFF/FX-4500P/Casio%20FX-4500P.html https://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Pages/FFF/FX-4500P/C... https://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Pages/FFF/FX-880P/Casio%20FX-880P.html https://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Pages/FFF/FX-880P/Ca...
