I love the idea of a physical calculator. I mean, they seem really cool if you're a nerd, who wouldn't want an nSpire?
But math is pretty tightly tied to screens for me. I'm usually finding a resistor value I will then enter in a schematic capture app, or looking up the dimensions of something online and making something fit in CAD, or pricing out a project by looking up parts.
90% of the time, if I'm doing math, I'm on a tablet or computer anyway. I'd like a physical calculator for the other 10%, but I think I might never use it, because... It would probably be farther away than my phone and laziness and habit would take over.
