4 out of 5 stars the good 'ol 12 c   October 16, 2009
Benkei
I have used the 12c for 20 years now but was cautious in buying a new one because of reader's feedback (I had one stolen one in the past, and the replacement had felt very different).
In a nutshell, keystrokes have a harder feel but despite the clicking noise, nothing might have happened. So there is a decline of response quality.
The leatherbag is crap. I threw it away. It is really big, bulky and too tight for the calculator. I was afraid it will push on the buttons too much.
Non-responsive keys are the main reason I am about to buy the TI BA II Plus (I don't know if it is any better, but the HP's keys are not really good enough). I guess times change, so do calculators, and so do I.
The HP12c app for the iphone is great though.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect for a sales professional in need of advanced functions   October 13, 2009
20something Sales Exec (Boston, MA)
It was definately a better choice to choose the Platinum over the regular HP 12C...the ability to use algebraic ("normal") calculating functions is an added value that it well worth the few extra bucks. Calculator arrived exactly as described, buttons are easy to use, clear screen, it is the classic HP 12C that every professional has in their briefcase.


5 out of 5 stars Calculator Regained   October 4, 2009
Michael J. Cowell (Yarmouth, Maine)
This HP 12c Platinum replaces one I had for years and lost. It works as I expected. My only regret is that, like so many things, it is now made in China, not the US. Also, the case it comes in is a little tight, but that's only a minor inconvenience.


5 out of 5 stars Very happy.   October 1, 2009
RAYMOND THEODORE USHER (Guatemala)
Really faster than older HP12C model. I don't like the new keys but all the other features are great.

Jona Kirts
Used a different calculator for CFA exam, but wish I would have had this one instead. Very good instruction manual with good examples. Lots of extra pre-written programs in the back of the manual.
