Digital camera reviews of HP 17BII Financial CalculatorDigital camera Review: Great Calculator Summary: 5 Stars
I have used the HP17BII for about 6 years now. I also own a 19B. I really like the 17BII for all of its functionality. It got me thru undergrad (Wayne State U in Detroit) and grad school and became the recommended calculator at my school (Clark Atlanta U) for all grad and undergrad students. Unlike some of the lesser priced machines, the 17BII will still be functional when you are in the work force doing a complex Black-Scholes calculation. I really believe that it is the absolute best financial calculator out there followed by the 19B, 10B, 12C and then the BAII plus.
Digital camera Review: Great calculator for those in financial services industries Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best features of this calculator is that the calculations (i.e. present value/future value calculations and basic mortgage payment calculations)are menu driven using a series of buttons at the top of the calculator. You simply input the data per the associated input button. In addition, this calculator is a lot easier to use than the 12B which is the standard in the leasing industry. The 17B version allows you to input your data in a straight forward fashion rather than the "reverse" data input method of the 12C. HP also did a good job with the instructional booklet you receive with the calculator. The booklet gives you numerous sample problems and does a good job of highlighting the capabilities of the calculator in an easy to understand format without all the technical jargon. I wouldn't be without this calculator.
Digital camera Review: HP 17B II Summary: 5 Stars
The premiere business and financial calculator with over 250 built-in functions. Its menu driven set-up makes it very user-friendly. Most of the powerful functions are accessed through the simple "softkey" on-screen menu/submenu system where the function of the buttons at the top changes depending on what you are trying to calculate. Features include: * All basic math functions plus logarithms, reciprocal, factorial etc. and a simple to use memory/recall set-up. * Business/financial functions including Time Value of Money, cash flows, IRR, NPV, , required periodic payment (i.e. for mortgage/car payments), and a full bond price/yield/coupon function. * Programmable -- user can: * Create own formulas (e.g. an involved formula or a series of several calculations done in a row or done on a regular basis), * Create softkeys for the formula, and then * Access this formula the same way the other formulas like time value of money are accessed. * Statistics. * Algebraic solver. * Time and appointments. * A beeper which beeps on appointments and optionally on errors. * 6.7K Bytes of user memory * 2-line, 22-character LCD * Both Algebraic notation (default) and Reverse Polish notation * Infrared printing compatible with HP printers. * Batteries: 3 x LR44 * 6.7K Bytes of user memory. I have used a lot of financial calculators and this one is my all time favorite. Simple to use, yet more functions and power than most anyone will ever need.
