Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: 3rd one in 2 months... buyer beware
Summary: 2 Stars
The calculator works all right, but they're not built to last. I'm on my third one in two months, as the first one suddenly stopped calculating correctly (my teacher and I both tried everything). Then the second one stopped working about ten days after I bought it. Now I'm on my third one, but I don't have very high hopes for it.
The other thing is that the cover is oddly designed so it's hard to put on. Not a big fan.
In all, it's an ok calculator, but I'm not sure I would buy it if I had a choice.
Digital camera Review: A CFA's Friend
Summary: 4 Stars
Great calculator, one of the few allowed to be used on the CFA exams. Bond pricing has never been so easy. Contains a myriad of other functions, also note on this new model calculator the CashFlows work sheet goes to 6yrs. instead of just the 5yrs. that the old one went to. Overall it's a good buy. It is pricey though, if you can find it for $50 or less, buy two.Digital camera Review: A Great Business Calculator
Summary: 4 Stars
I use the TI BA II Plus at work all the time. It's durable and fairly easy to use. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 simply because the manual that comes with it could be a whole lot better. It tends to gloss over some functions, ie., the using the date computations. This is a function that I had to sit down and experiment with to master. Still, it's a great business calculator.Digital camera Review: A first-rate financial calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
The TI BA II Plus is a first-rate piece of equipment. It performs all the basic financial functions. Additionally, it has a very simple interface, using a set of "worksheets" to perform the more complex financial functions. One needs to remember to exit the worksheet when finished, however, or the calculator will produce nonsense when computing products, sums, etc.
An additional plus: this is one of only a few calculators which are permitted for use on the Society of Actuaries exams.
Digital camera Review: A real find
Summary: 5 Stars
As a real estate broker, I use the calculator quite a bit to calculate various aspects of transactions. It is nice to have the best looking calculator in the conference room, but even better to have one that is easy to use and on which it is difficult to make mistakes. I don't get all the fuss about the "stiffness" of the buttons - it is not like you work up a sweat pushing them, and I appreciate 'knowing' when I have pressed it because I can feel it. This is a superb calculator and for TVM, business, and finance, it is well worth the money.
