Title: Poor replacement for the HP15c
Product review: I was looking for a reasonably priced replacement for my beloved HP-15C. That is, a RPN calculator in which to do simple calculations and equation programming. The HP-15C still costs $150 which is ridiculous for a relatively simple calculator in this day in age. The HP-35s seemed to fit the bill reasonably well enough and it had two display lines instead of just one. However, the keyboard is of very poor quality and it cannot keep up with my typing speed, frequently resulting in incorrect calculations. I get frustrated every single time I use the calculator as a result. In addition, the keyboard layout is extremely poor and a huge step back from the HP-15C. Common functions often require more key stokes than the 15C and the keys or not placed in intuitive/optimal positions.Argh!!!! Come on HP...stop fleecing the consumer and make your 15C cost $50 bucks instead of $150.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
