Review title: HP 12c Calculator
Product review: HP has significantly changed the way they design or manufacture their calculators over the years. I purchased my first HP 12c more than 15 years ago, and now that it has been dropped more than a "million" times I decided to get a replacement. Compared to my original HP 12c, the new one I received has a "slower" processor and the numbers seem to "creep" up to the display (I've check the performance with multiple sets of batteries). Also, the keys do not seem to have a firm "detent" and one needs to check the numbers before entering or performing any calculations. These two issues alone compel me to question the integrity of HP products - currently and future purchases. The bottom line.... I feel I should have spent $10 for this calc rather then the $70 HP asked for. The HP 12c is not being built as a "Sherman Tank" any more, so I would certainly look around before settling on an accurate, robust calculator you can depend on.
