This video is about the Casio Z-1GR pocket computer from 1997. This pocket computer supported a number of programming options: BASIC, C, Intel 8086 and CASL assembly languages.
In the video I show examples of solutions to the N-Queens chess program in BASIC, C and Assembly and compare the run times. For the source to assembly code version check out the following link:

Thank you very much for this review of the last of the Casio Pocket Computer lineup. I've bought one a few years ago and I love it. It's almost impossible to find the A version or, even more difficult, a 890P. Nevertheless, it's a very fast and very complete calculator. RAM upgrade is quite easy and cheap if you have soldering skills (it's a RAM chip replacement). I've upgraded mine with 256kB of RAM which is more than comfortable with only 10 program slots per language.I also have a couple of VX-4, which are good Pocket Computers but definitely need a RAM upgrade to be usable. The RAM upgrade of the VX-4 up to 64kB is very similar to the Z-1GR : RAM chips replacement, with a solder blob to short a track in addition.

This has that great mid to late 90s Japanese tech aesthetic. I ended up buying the Sharp PC-G850V because they can be found for lot less than these.

Thank you. Didn't know about this calculator yet. Would be a great addition to my Casio "pocket 8s" and FX730P.

Yeah it is definitely the next generation on from the fx730p.

The display seems a bit dark... ?

@CalculatorCulture Жыл бұрын

Yeah it’s not the best screen. There is also a contrast wheel that makes it lighter/darker.

The display on the Casio Z-1GR is inferior to the Z-1GRA or the FX-890P (I have the FX-890P). From the HPMuseum site: "I would recommend to find a Z-1GRA or FX-890P. The contrast is much better than the Z-1 or Z-1GR. It's comparable to the high contrast LCD of the PC-E500S. The reference GRA is not written on the calculator, only on the box"
