Digital camera reviews of HP 17BII Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: HP18's Algebra mode: No precedence for multiplication/division over Addition/Substraction
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this calculator on the basis of good review here.
True, most of the good things mentioned in reviews here are indeed true but I found out one major flaw in the "algebra mode"
for this calculator.
In the past, I have avoided HP calculators becuase HP insists on RPN. So I was happy to have an HP calculator with both algebra and RPN until I found out about "Algebra mode" in this calculator.
In other algebra calculators, it is clear that the following is true:
3 + 4 * 5 = 23
But HP 18 gives me the following result:
3 + 4 * 5 = 35
In other words, it is not algebra, in the sense that is taught in the school.
Digital camera Review: Happy camper
Summary: 5 Stars
Traded my 12c in for this baby and couldn't be happier. Much faster and user-friendly, with alphanumeric display and great solver functionality. Easy to program too, programming on the 12c was so clumsy and convoluted as to be unusable. It can be held in your left hand and operated with your thumb only, something you can't do with the 12c because of the horizontal form factor.I'm more and more convinced that the popularity of the 12c is a clear sign that finance people don't have much of a clue when it comes to technology.
Digital camera Review: I wish HP would re-issue this calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
After the classic HP12C, this is the best financial calculator they ever made. My old one hasn't worn out, but I bought a NIB replacement at auction for when it does. This has all the functionality of the more cumbersom 19B, but in a better designed handheld size. I love my 12C, but this is the calculator I wish I had in grad school. The keys are fantastic, the menus are logical and fluid, the case is super rugged, and it is just all around excellent. I'm a messy klutz and have dropped mine and sat on it dozens of times and it still works like a the day I turned it on. I wish HP would re-issue it.Digital camera Review: IT IS A MUST FOR ME
Summary: 5 Stars
HP17BII IS THE MOST USER-FRIENDLY CALCULATOR OF ALL MY CALCULATOR THAT I HAVE EVER USED.Digital camera Review: If only my computer worked as well as this calculator!
Summary: 5 Stars
This calculator will never need to be replaced. It is a typical HP product - fantastic tools, durable, entirely customer focused.
