This unit replaces a previous unit I had for over ten years when the display started to go. Could not be without the calculator and the programming capability with the financial functions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best financial calculator! Ease of use! Calculates loan interest, payments stream, and compounds interest! Would have no other!
The solver function that allows entry of custom formulas is a major advantage over the 12C, yet it also has all of the same financial functions as the 12C.
This is my second HP 17 B and my forth HP calculator over a period of about 28 years. Here is what makes the 17BII special: 1. Uncluttered keyboard - this is the result of the soft keys (across the top row) and menu options. This makes it much easier to see what is on the keys. 2. The vertical layout (as apposed to the horizontal layout of the 12 C). Vertical fits better into one's hand. 3. The screen is very clear - I think it is better than the 12 C. 4. RPN rocks ! (the cheaper HP financial calculator does not offer an RPN option). The ease of recalling recently keyed numbers and results, rolling down the stack and being able to store / recall numbers in the registers is soooooo nice. 5. The back-space key is terrific - I use it all the time. As with other HP calculators, the keys have a solid feel - considerably better than what one finds on cheap calculators. I use the calculator every day at work and generally get 6 - 8 years out of them. Other HP calculators I have used over the years are the 12 C and the 41 CV - the 17bII is my favorite, though the 41 CV was a really nice machine (a bit overkill for what I do on a calculator these days, and I don't think they make them any more).
I bought the HP 12C Financial Programmable Calculator to replace my boyfriend's 25+ year old calculator of the same model. His old calculator's #5 key was working intermittently. The new calculator was a big hit and made his day :-) The ordering and shipping process went well too. Thanks for being such a great U.S. company! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Had one for 30 years and loved it. Finally had to get new one. To the designers - why on God's green earth did you change the bright yellow labels to barely visible LIGHT BLUE labels???
I have been using the 12C in my career and personal use since it was brought out in the 1980's and there is no better financial calculator out there. I have tried so many to check them out, but they all fail in ease of use, accuracy, and available functions. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I lost my HP-11 a few years ago in Hurricane Harvey. I tried using an app on my phone for a HP-15 but just wasn't happy with the tactile feel of the keys. The HP-12 doesn't do all the things I need as an engineer, but for many of my Project Management tasks the HP-12 works great. I'm glad I made the purchase. When is HP going to bring back a replacement for the HP-15? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
My 1971 HP-12c was finally retired a couple of years ago. Its only problem was the "2" button was faulty. I had purchased a "Platinum HP-12c" about three years ago to replace my original 12c. The pillow switches below the keys failed right away. By that time HP quit servicing the calculators. Stupidly, I bought another Platinum 12c and it too was defective in just months. I could not survive without a trusty HP 12-c and bought another one of the original 12-c design just recently. It seems to work alright and my fingers are crossed that it will finally take its place as the reliable HP calculator that was my side kick for so many years.
I figured this was an upgrade to my HP12C and was so disgusted by it that I sent it back. If a product isn't broken, do not make a new product if you can't make it better than the old one. You can't force progress, just wait until the next Einstein is born and hire him to come up with your next product. Our world is short of smart people like me!
