Great upgrade!!! August 21, 2009 Ashlyn A. Griffin (Atlanta, GA USA) I've had the regular BA II Plus model for about 2 years now, but as soon as I heard of this one I had to get it. Besides the extra features the calculator has, it has a much better appearance than the regular model as well as a leather case to hold the calculator. For any accounting and finance professionals, this would be a great add to the materials needed to get you through school and the CFA exam. Hope you enjoy it as well as I have!

i just bought a Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator"
Electronics; $42.88.The most dissaponting thing is i cannot use the decimal point..how can i do the calculation if the calculators cant even solve the simple math question like 1.1+1 =2.1 but it bcm 11+1 =12..the main purpose i want bought this from amazon is because i need it urgently. But now, they delivered me the problematic calculator
The buttons are horrible! August 2, 2009 A. Miller (AZ USA) I have to churn out huge quantities of numbers using this bad boy but the biggest problem I have is with the buttons!
The case has an overall cheap feel which is fine by me, I mean hey! I am not going to be using these as personal defense weapons or anything but man would this have been so much better if only they had had the Chinese manufacturers put some better keys on these! I am sure they would've been able to do it.
Texas Instrument BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator July 18, 2009 Mark A. Duce The TI BA II Plus professional financial calculator is easy to use. The built in financial functions make it a perfect compliment for people taking finance / accounting classes in preparation for the CFA or CPA exams. You will not be disappointed with the capabilities of this financial calculator. The only suggestion that I can make for improvement is to replace the soft leather case with a hard plastic case.
Good, but not the best option for mortgage professionals June 29, 2009 Christopher W. Lennon (Portland, OR USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First of all, I'm a mortgage underwriter, so I'm coming at this from a mortgage underwriter's perspective. I've been using an HP 10B for the past several years. Recently, one of the numeral keys started to stick, so I decided it was time to buy a new calculator. After reading reviews for several different calculators on Amazon, I decided to take a flyer on the TI BA II Plus. After using it for a few days, I wish I had gotten another HP. Don't get me wrong, this is a solid calculator, but I miss a couple features from my old HP. First of all, the top of the HP was intentionally thicker than the bottom, creating a slight downward slope, thereby improving readability of the display. Secondly, I am mildly annoyed that the TI requires me to press two separate buttons (which are separated by 2 rows and 3 keys) in order to perform the final calculation on an amortized payment, whereas the HP required but a single keystroke. Granted, it's a minor nuisance, but a nuisance that accumulates over time. On the plus side, the calculator is sturdy, and the keypad has a good feel to it. It's just missing a few finishing touches.
