Digital camera reviews of HP 17BII Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: THE Financial Calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
It is infinitely more user friendlier than the industrial standard 12C, and it is half the size of 19BII (when opened) while retaining most of the core functionality. It has RPN for financial geek within us, while maintaining algebraic notation option for the newly initiated. There is no other financial calculator one should look at.Digital camera Review: TRIED & TRUE
Summary: 5 Stars
I'VE HAD MY 17B SINCE 1988. IT TRULY IS AN AWESOME CALCULATOR. USING SOME OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY 17B/19B BOOKS ENABLED ME TO ENTER ENORMOUS MORTAGE FORMULAS WHICH HAVE PROVED VERY VALUABLE WHEN SHOPPING FOR MORTGAGE'S. IT IS NICE TO BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH COMPLEX REAL ESTATE ISSUES WITH A BROKER WITH THE 17B. NOTHING BEAT THE 17B IN UPPER LEVEL FINANCE COURSES. SOLVING BOND DURATION, IRR AND OTHER COMMON EXAM PROBLEMS WERE A SNAP.Digital camera Review: The Best Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Look no further. The classic HP workhorse is a legend for good reason. This is the best financial calculator available. It is durable, easy to use, and highly versatile. Many HP calc lovers prefer the 12C to this because of size. Fair enough, but if you don't have the time or care to learn RPN then the 17BII is your ticket as it allows either RPN or algabraic entry.
The programmable solver is an awesome tool as it saves a ton of time for calcs outside of the 250 preprogrammed. Also, the feel of the push button keys are superior to other brands. There is no doubt an entry took place. Excellent battery life. Sure it is a little pricey compared to other financial calculators but you will never need another. This baby is built like a '56 Buick and will probably outlast you. If you are searching for a financial calculator then you understand the importance of value over low cost. This is the one.
Digital camera Review: The best financial calculator around
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing else even comes close. None of that annoying 5 minute wait like the 12c while you stare at a screen that says "running". Also, the 17b2+ has been visually cheapened (cheap plastic, rather than the metal-like cover). This is the banking gold standard. Easy to use and very intuitive.Digital camera Review: The financial calculator to get
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a business student or finance professional, the HP 17BII is the financial calculator to purchase. It provides the necessary functionality (e.g. solves the appropriate kinds of time value of money & IRR problems, provides memory, etc.), but what I really find useful is "intuitive" data entry in solving these problems relative to the HP 12C (which I also own). For Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) candidates, it is also the "top-of-the-line" HP model since the more advanced versions are programmable, which is disallowed by the AIMR during testing.
