This may be known to most, but for those who have not yet used the built-in calculator, this may be helpful. I was initially disappointed when I found that the new Calculator consists of two windows, a keypad and the tape. It is a pain to move both around, and I wish you could have the option of gluing them together.

Anyway, a feature that is helpful is that on the tape you can change your already calculated results. If you have several calculations on a tape and you want to make revisions to one or more calculations, simply change the data right on the tape and click Recalculate Totals. Useful for revising on-the-fly estimates.
