Negative Positive
Title: An HP kind of guy
Review: I have used many HP calculators in my career (HP11C, HP15C, HP41Cx, HP30s) and have found this business calculator to be some what more difficult to use because of the additional key strokes required for the more complex calcs. I know the unit is reliable and durable; I had the same key pad problem previously mentioned and HP was not only aware of it, they sent me a replacement unit that no longer has the tactile key depression problem. The imbeded function options are more numerous then its predecessor (HP12C) and I have found greater confidence in the 17bii+ (in comparision)once I familarized myself with the hidden functions.Grading compared with the HP12C:Features & Functions: BetterDurability: SameDisplay: BetterCost: Worse (This calculator should not be significantly more expensive then its predecessor.)
Is the review positive or negative?
