gollark: What?
gollark: Low end ones probably not that much, considering, but the some of the graphical ones I've seen are more expensive than my phone.
gollark: £150 now gets you a very basic laptop assuming sales, it seems, so calculators should cost... lots less...
gollark: A DIY version of a graphical one would be much cheaper.
gollark: Plastic shell + a bunch of buttons + low-end CPU + solar panel + battery + LCD, and the higher end models are quite expensive.
