Creative models approved by SEAB for use till 2015 (for both PX 2051 & PX2101 models).

The retail price at Popular and school will be the same. The price at Popular (fixed price, no member discount). If the school is organising a sales, then it will be cheaper.

My DD is in Pri 3 this year and we recently bought Creative PX2101 from school. I think it is one of the approved E-dictionary.

No need to think so hard leh.

It is definitely approved by SEAB. Otherwise, if they sell the unauthorised model, they will get a lot of feedback, complaints and requests for refunds. Usually, the school will have approved/granted for the sale of those models before the vendors or the school bookstore vendor can go to the school to sell.

I just got the Besta one cos it has 60000词, think Creative Hansvision is 46000.

Also, feel the buttons to press are bigger. DS prefers Creative cos more friends using that.

Hi to all parents whom have purchased the CD737S (https://www.popular.com.sg/jsp/product/product_detail.jsp?vca001=35155&vpd001=95687). A few days ago, I dropped over to Popular and the sales girl done a demo to me. Thot is a bit pricy, I'm contemplating to get one for my P3 but I worry that after a while, it becomes white elephant. I would like to know for those whom have purchased it, appreciate if you can share your view that is it very useful? Does your kid likes it and and make use of it? Any improvement in his/her Chinese/English? Any feedbacks welcome. Thks.

Hi Civic Man, I bought one for my Pri 3 DD few months ago. We paid S$698 but I saw the link you attached, it's only S$598 now. :stupid:

I don't think this E-dict is under the MOE approved list but it's certainly good for homework. DD has a simpler version that's approved by MOE but she rarely uses it at home.

My DD likes it and uses it a lot for her CL homework... Hmm, improvement in Chinese? :scratchhead: Didn't notice any improvement, but she certainly didn't need to bother us when doing her CL homework.

Many thanks for your feedback. No, is not an approved version, it is for home use. I know is a good investment but my concern is that after a while it become while elephant

Not sure any parents face the same situation(become white elephant)?

She also refers the samples when want to have some idea to construct 造句.

There is a feature that can also draw picture.

Hi Parents,

Do you think it is more worthwhile to get a Chinese electronic dictionary, or get an ipad/ipod touch to download Chinese dictionary application? If the latter, do you have any recommended applications?
Thank you.
