Digital camera reviews of Hewlett Packard HP6S SLR Solar Scientific Calculator
Digital camera Review: Dreadful feel, greadful reliability
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 25 of these for my classes to use during exams. About 6 years later only 5 work. The displays of the rest have some non-functioning segments, ranging from 2 segments to all of them! It looks like they perform the calculation correctly but do not display the results properly. Changing the internal battery had no effect. They will have to tbe trashed.
Also, the buttons have to be pushed hard and rock while being pressed so the tactile feedback is variable and overdone. Worst calculator I have ever encountered for the feel of the keys.
Don't even consider buying this very old model.
Summary of Hewlett Packard HP6S SLR Solar Scientific Calculator
Combining both battery and solar power, the Hewlett-Packard Solar Scientific calculator is ideal for students ranging from middle-school algebra all the way up to college-level trigonometry. Don't let the calculator's slim design fool you; although it's compact and easy to slip in a pocket or desk drawer, the functions are meaty. You can use the fraction and fraction-decimal conversion to work with irrational numbers and utilize sine, cosine, tangent, exponential, natural log, and antilog functions for scientific applications. The calculator also allows you to convert minutes and seconds (sexagesimal figure) to decimal format, as well as perform conversions with hexadecimal, octal, and binary bases. Algebra students can enter data in algebraic notation, just like they would if they were writing on paper. And if the math lessons last until after dark, this solar-powered calculator will automatically switch over to battery-powered operation. The calculator's instruction booklet is comprehensive and easy to read. Our only complaint with the HP6SSLR is its single-line display. While it is large and easy to read in most conditions, for those used to graphic or multiline calculators, it may be disappointing. --Ariel Meadow Stallings Pros: Both solar and battery powered Slim design Large buttons Ideal for middle- or high-school students Cons: Single-line displaySolar poweredEssential scientific and mathematical functions for middle-school useEssential trig and math functions for scientific applicationsBase conversions and arithmeticEasy-to-use algebraic entry systemCombining both battery and solar power, the Hewlett-Packard Solar Scientific calculator is ideal for students ranging from middle-school algebra all the way up to college-level trigonometry.
