How we checked
The official Casio Education product page (source) confirms the exact model "fx-CG50 PRIZM", states it "does not feature a C.A.S." (cas support false), "comes built-in with Python" (python support true), is "approved for the SAT, PSAT, ACT, and AP tests" (exam approval), and is powered by "AAA x4" (rechargeable battery false). The Staples retailer page (corroboration) confirms the same model "Casio Prizm FX-CG50" and states verbatim a 3.17" color LCD, "16MB Storage Memory Area (Flash Memory)", "RAM Memory (KB) 60", "Non-CAS", "4 x AAA" power, and the retail price "$109.99". The official Casio spec module PDF (casio.com/content/dam/casio/local/us/cpd/pdf/module-fx-cg50prizm.pdf) additionally lists "Dot Matrix Display 384x216", "LCD (Color) High Color" with "Back-light" (basis for color-backlit-lcd), corroborated by a dated review ("216 x 384 dots"); however the methodology-formatted "384x216" string is not present on either cleanly re-fetchable HTML source, and no page disclosed device weight or the exact USB connector type, so display resolution (px), weight grams, and connectivity are left blank.
