 HP 17bII+ improvement November 13, 2009
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.
HP Finally Got It Right (after years of not doing so!) October 2, 2009
Pruitt Hall (Greensboro, NC USA)

If you are hunting for reviews of HP financial calculators, make certain you identify 'which' HP 17 you're looking at. The original 17 was produced in Malaysia and has quite the following, even in the used market. Reason? Solidly built, utterly reliable and no surprises. It squarely updgraded the HP12C calculator, though it has never had the following the 12c has; the 12c is absolutely deserving of the title 'iconic'.
Two things transpired in the past decade to give HP headaches in the calculator market: first, their own internal struggles to find out where they themselves were heading as a corporation (and calculators contributed, certainly, but likely not in a large way) and, secondly, the shrinking market for calculators in general, and financial ones in particular.
Educational calculators still have a true market segment and HP and TI duke it out there; Casio also to a lesser extent. But spreadsheets have changed the way many in the financial market run simulations. That is NOT to say that there isn't a need for calculators; they offer a quick and easy method to obtain financial results, many times far quicker than their spreadsheet counterparts. I think the market will always be there for a well-made financial calculator and most bankers and financial experts will always have a need for them.
That said, HP's follow on to the HP12C (the 'platinum') and the HP 17B+ were just dismal in every sense. They had cheaper plastic cases, their buttons did not always register with every press and they didn't even follow their own keyboard coloring and layout patterns, which is beyond comprehension due to them creating the market itself for financial calculator layout!
I'm happy to report that someone, somewhere within the HP organization finally figured out the problems and have upgraded the HP17 to it's current status. The keys not registering is FIXED. The return to a familiar HP layout for the keys and the coloring of the keys is FIXED. The 'cheapness' and low quality fix of the prior HP 17BII is FIXED. The new HP 17BII+ even has a satisfying 'heft' to it, though they may have just put a weight in it to make it feel that way. But it DOES feel like the HP 17 of old.
Make certain if you're looking at this calculator at big box stores that you do get the NEW model. The faceplate is a blue-ish silver; the older models are brown or brown and gold. And some of the interim models are still in the pipeline, so be absolutely certain you're getting the newest model; it's the ONLY one that has corrected the problems.
I'd have given this calculator 5 stars, but I'm taking one away since HP took so long to fix a problem that they should have taken responsibility for five years ago.
 Great Financial Calculator September 29, 2009
J. Bedoya (Houston, tX USA)
Calculator is great. Plenty of functions for everything you can hope to do on it. The only tricky part is learning how the functions are laid out. Once you understand how to use the calculator, accessing the appropriate function is a piece of cake.
works great September 26, 2009
Lance Bishop (Utah, USA)
works great. I especially like the solve feature which lets you put in your own equations.
HP17BII+ August 1, 2009
M. Nelson (Arizona)
Having used HP financial calculators for nearly 30 years, starting with the 12C, I found this to be the absolutely best calculator ever. The 12C was good in its day, the 17B was better, because it was faster, the 19B was ok, albeit chunky to use, the 17BII, was poor, as the keys were poor quality, but the new 17BII+ is back to great, better than the 12C or 17B, which were my two former favorites. I would highly recommend this calculator to anyone in finance; it is fast and the keys feel good - like the keys on the 12C.
