Why do I have an urge to buy this? I have no use for it. But damn did they sell it to me well.

This is gorgeous. I’m very afraid if I buy one it will trigger a wave of revulsion for normal everyday products and I’ll become one of these obsessive people who talk about fonts.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...

I tried to buy this, when it was released. It sold out instantly. I was sad.

Was hoping this was a lacquered F-91W, but the calculator is pretty nice too.

Time to start a project to make a handcrafted lacquer face for some other calculators; I have a few HP-80 (https://www.hpmuseum.org/hp80.htm) to test the idea on ;)

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

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

This is amazing. If you've ever held a fountain pen with this finish you know.
