Besta vs. Creative chinese e-dictionary

amylqf:
totally agree...son started with besta...time consuming to extract the idiom...creative is faster.I am not sure about the old one, the latest besta have the feature that easily retrieve \"chengyu\" or \"idom\".
e.g.
Instead of typing \"Ma Ma Hu Hu\", just type mmhh, then the idom will come out. -
Hi!! Recently the advert for Besta (“Besta New All Pass-1”) says it has a faster way of finding words with Shou Ma (e.g. mlqm can call up 名列前茅), HYPY, total strokes, association and reverse association…
Does this mean it is on par or better than Creative now?
The Besta during roadshow is only $35 btw, whereas Creative is $42 during roadshow… -

My son has a besta which is almost five years old. I am thinking of getting one more for back up and also pass the older one to my younger son. Should I get besta again or creative? Kid has been using besta, will mix up the functions if get creative?

Hi ! I have called Besta and understand that Besta will be having a roadshow in West View Primary School this Friday (28/03/14) and I am interested to get a digital dictionary (Besta “New All Pass-2” as they have discontinue the old version “New All Pass-1”).
Will there be any kind soul could help me to get one unit ? If so, could you please pm me and we can arrange for collection and payment. Thank you ! -
Just read this thread… just bought one @ popular last weekend as dd said hers is not working. They only selling Besta @ $49.90, mentioned it’s the latest model. Seems the price has increased ya? Recalled my dd bot hers (Creative) thru school order then, only $30+…

my kids use both and the creative model seems to be much faster for the searching functions

Hi, anyone had bought the latest Besta PSLE model? Is it better & faster compare to Creative model?
Please advise. -
I just bought the latest Besta All-pass 2 chinese dictionary. It boasts of Creative’s quick-type for proverbs ie. type ‘mmhh’ for 马马虎虎. It also has a writing function for word search. I’ll have to wait for my kid to try it out before passing the verdict on whether it is truly better than the Creative model.

Dear Parents
Can someone advise which year in Primary School are the children allow to use these electronic dictionary ?
Also, if they have these electronic dictionary, do they still need to learn how to use the paper dictionary in the old traditional manner.
My kid is currently in lower primary and I am wondering whether to get him to use the paper dictionary or the electronic one.
Your kind advise , please.
