Digital camera reviews of HP 17BII Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: Love it, but no Trigonometric Functions
Summary: 5 Stars
Super durable and reliable: I've had this calculator since 1992, I used it for my BA and my MSc. It has outlasted 4 laptops.
Batteries last a long time, but keep more handy. It uses LR44 (Maxell) equivalent to LR44H, L1154, A76, V13GA, LR44, AG13, PX76A, 675A, 303, G13A. 11.6x5.4 mm Size equivalent to 357, 303, SR44, S1154.
PLEASE NOTE: If you need Trigonometric Functions, this calculator is NOT for you.
Digital camera Review: OK until the keys quit
Summary: 2 Stars
Great calculator, and HP's excellent manual does the job. HOWEVER, it should last. The early HP25 could be dropped off the table, and I still have one - unfortunately the battery died, or it would be active still. The operator keys stopped working on my 17BII. Power came on, self-test wouldn't test, and the operator(+ - x, etc. ) had no effect. People should buy HP calculators because they work well, they are well documented and they LAST. No matter how marvelous a calculator is, if the keys don't work, it is less than a paperweight.Charles ElliottDigital camera Review: Probably the best financial calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this calculator very easy to use. The manual is written in a very easy language and I learned all the functions within an hour.There are some functions that are redundant. For example you can calculate the markup on cost with simple percentage functions, you don't really need a special functionality for that. It's just confusing, since it's another button you have to remember. There are couple more of those examples.
But overall, it's a great working horse for everybody who works in a bank or fianacial institution.
Digital camera Review: Reliable, Keep Spare Batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
This calculator got me through my BBA and MBA. It's too bad the CFA guys don't accept it. I've had mine since 1992. At least the one produced back then was tough. If you use it a lot, though, it will go through your batteries. Carry some spares. I wish HP would integrate some sort of recharchable batterie witha solar panel so that none of the stored functions are lost.Digital camera Review: Simple, Easy to Use, Good Display
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this calculator for over two years. It is easy to use with a large clear display. You don't need to spend much time with the instruction book because it the buttons are clearly marked and the layout logical. I have tried other financial calculators and this is by far the easiest to use.
