What's in the Box HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator Customer Reviews5 out of 5 stars 2010-02-06By M. Avery This is my first financial calculator. Had to buy it for some college courses. It's more advanced and organized than other financial calculators which can be a disadvantage if your professors don't know how to use it, let alone figure it out. And this happens to be the first time you've seen one let alone use one. I'm still learning it, but I like it A LOT. and i think you will too. Will take some getting used to, but the features are great! 1 out of 5 stars 2010-02-01 By Bubba (USA) Ditto all the other reviewers' comments about the cheap construction of this POS. I've been an HP calculator user for 25 years, and am astounded at the cheap junk that they are now willing to put their name on. Forget about technical capabilities; if the damn keyboard doesn't function properly its all just academic. The keyboard on the 17bii+ is garbage. Routinely misses keystrokes. A calculator that costs 0 should be a quality item. Costs 4-5x as much as comparable TI or Casio financial calculator models. If it wasn't for the fact that HP is still the only manufacturer using true RPN I would have switched long ago. At this point, I think I'll just suck it up and forget about RPN because I'm tired of paying through the nose for a new HP when the old one breaks down every two years. Shame on you HP. 4 out of 5 stars 2010-01-22 By Cheetah (Jamaica) I am new to financial calculators. I bought this and the texas TIBA11+ together. the texas allows you to do math such as trig, permutation, combination, random numbers etc. If you need a calculator that does these then use the Texas. If you are straight business then the HP is definitely the way to go. Solver is wonderful!! you can actually do your own equations, I have added factorial notation, NCR and NPR into solver, added the fractional indices to solver and thus I have no need for a scientific calculator. RPN is great after getting used to it, it makes you think in a new light and is even faster than a traditional scientific calculator for complex calculations. I would have given this product a 5 if it had some additional math functions, however it did say financial calculator!! 5 out of 5 stars 2009-12-08 By W. M. Reid (Hamilton, Canada) The HP Financial calculator has been a standard of the financing and mortgage industry for almost 4 decades and progressed from a one line LED display and limited memory to the 12C's and 17B series with multi line display, programmability and a host of function keys. However the key feature of the HP's was rock solid construction and reliability. I am sure there are users out there with 20 year old machines still working perfectly. Somewhere between the 17Bll and the 17Bll+ HP appears to have handed off design and build to a 3rd party. Manufacturing moved from Singapore to China and quality & useability fell off. I don't think the blame lies with country of manufacture but rather design and quality control. Currently there are 2 17Bll+'s on the market. The poor quality one retains HP's dark brown faceplate with a yellow change key and a rounded shape. The newer model same model # has a platinum plate and a blue change key. The former flattened and lightened the calculator and in the process took away much of the key tactility. There have been reports of breakdown, keys failing to function etc. The platinum model returns to the traditional shape of the HP 17 series, raises the keys for excellent tactile feel and generally has the heft and quality feel of the older machines. So far (3 months) mine has operated flawlessly. By the way it also is made in China. Not sure what happened in the background but suspect HP stepped in albeit indirectly to protect its name. Bottom line HP for ever. Strongly suspect mine will outlive me ( my previous 17Bll got lost after 15 years use! 4 out of 5 stars 2009-11-13 By R. Tipton (Dallas, Texas) This new version of the 17bII+ is an improvement from the previous 17bII+. HP improved the buttons and increased the size of the Input button. This is the 4th HP calculator I've purchased. I'd recommend it (has the appearence of the 12C Platinum). Don't buy the 17bII+ with the smaller Input button. The buttons are of poor quality (I have one & don't use it). All said, the old 17bII is the best version, if you can find on web. Best buttons & quality. This is the best financial calculator on the market. All Reviews for HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator BUY HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator
