Excellent, but could be great... June 10, 2009 K. Morris (Byron, GA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A near perfect calculator with many great features. I don't really have any complaints, however, it is not the fantastic quality of my older HP's. It seems that they cut the corners just a little for cost purposes. There is just something that doesn't quite meet the high standard of their past calculators. Functionally I couldn't ask for more. I love both RPN and AlG entry depending on what I am doing. I recommend you purchase this if you are looking for an excellent HP. It was only $34 on Buy.com on sale. Look around for the best price. I paid $45 on Amazon and found it on sale the next day on Buy.com?!?!?
My Favorite Calculator May 25, 2009 Markcizm (Santa Monica, California United States) I will not add to the many long-winded reviews already here. Let me just say that this is my favorite calculator & to me, "perfection". I use it with RPN mode & my girlfriend uses hers strictly in algebraic, so it functions perfectly fine either way. I have tried most of the higher end Scientific and Graphing calculators on the market & this one beats all of them for me. I love the feel, the size, the keys, the sturdy case and ease of use.
In fact, I liked this calculator so much that I purchased the HP-50g because I thought it would be even better. While it is, of course, a much more powerful machine with endless features, I prefer the 35s and I rarely even use the 50g.
I would recommend this calculator to anyone, as I think it is versatile enough to please most people (I used TI calculatos my entire life and now I will never use anything but HP...who would have thought).
My only concern is that HP will stop production on this and screw it up with their next model, which is what I hear they did with the 33s. So I've been debating for a few months on whether or not I should purchase 2 or 3 more of these and keep them away in case mine ever dies.
HP35S isn't an HP35 May 6, 2009 R. Cherry I'm a long time HP user with 2 HP 35 a 45 and the 67. The HP 67 is my favorite.
With the 35S, changed the way the original HP35 worked as some functions are reversed. The 35, 45 and 67 all work the same but the 35S is backwards. I'll probably stay with the 67 as it is just easier to use.
Good Basic HP with RPN May 4, 2009 Seattle Engineer 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My previous "work" calculator (an HP48GX) final died after 18 years of use. I still have an HP41CV at home that I've owned for over 22 years.
I bought this HP35S as a replacement work calculator. It has the traditional feel and operation of the other HPs I've owned. It features all the normal scientific functions one would expect. The only down side with this calculator is the available unit conversions are more limited than the HP48.
I don't use the programming features at all, as I prefer to use the computer for anything complex. One of the higher end HPs with a large graphics screen would be better for any serious programming.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this unit, and feel it's a very good value. For those that are accustomed to using HP RPN calculators, this HP35 is is a fine basic scientific calculator.
HP 35s Calculator excellent April 28, 2009 Tx Engineer (Houston, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This calculator is only the third that I have bought since 1980. It is a testament to the quality that HP has always brought to its calculators. It is easy to use and very similar to the HP 42s which is the last caculator I bought 18 years ago. I don't need a calculator to program, since I have a computer for that. I need a calculator that is easy to use and dependable. This calculator can also be used for the Texas P. E. examination. Great value and a very good product.
