And major improvement over the other recent offerings from HP August 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This calculator feels more like the older high quality HP Calcs. HP has all but forgotten this market. The calculator is easy to use and has good power but the major complaint is that there is no way to store or save programs out of the calc. If you need to remove a program it is lost. a card slot or usb port would be a major improvement.
Good 1st Effort August 4, 2008

After years in the calculator wilderness,HP is getting the message:most engineers and scientists need something small that they can carry with them.I go back to the 11C which I used in college.My brother still uses it.Back in the 1980's,we had so many good models to choose from (the HP41,the HP15C,etc),it was ridiculous.After the original HP 48 came out,things got ugly and it seems that HP lost its focus.For the longest time,the newer models did not match the quality or the reliability of the original HP tradition.The higher end HP50G is a step in the right direction but it still missed the mark.
As to the current model,I'll list out the pro's and cons.
Pro's:
a) It does not try to do too much.It gives you all of the basic features you need in a nicely laid out display.
b) The keypad has keys that are responsive
Cons
a) Complex number entry is awkward
b) No ability to enter matrices (either real or complex).The older HP 42S (which was designed to emulate the legendary HP 41) had this capability and it desparately needs to be brought back.
c) The manual is good but it needs more fleshing out.In the days of the HP 11C,HP use to publish keystroke routines for common items.This is no longer done and it is a shame as many users program the keystrokes once and re-use them.I also note that the manual should be spiral bound instead of the cheaply bound manual they give you (you will crack the spine if you use your manual alot).
 A good move in the right direction July 28, 2008

In 28 years, I have owned 13 different HP calculators, namely, the 33C, 11C, 41C, 41CX, 16C, 28C, 71B, 48SX, 32S, 42S, 33S, 12C and finally now the 35S. The 33S was just an embarrassing mistake, and would be better known as the Edsel of HP. (A 1950's car made by Ford that's parodied as a supreme example of corporate America's failure to understand the nature of the consumer)
The new HP-35S is a refreshing return to the glory days of the 70s, 80s and early 90s when HP calculators were the best that money could buy. However, it's not quite the quality that we enjoyed in the 80s, but it's pretty darn close. The keyboard layout is a return the format that made HP legendary, but the click-feel isn't quite there. The decimal point display is still too small, and lacks the quality of older models.
The library of functionality is good, and memory size is respectable, but think they could have squeezed in a lot more with modern tech.
It's still a good buy, and I'm going to buy a couple more to keep in case HP stops making RPNs. I have always had a couple of spare, unopened 32S models for this very reason.
HP 35s July 25, 2008

My first HP was the 35 and I've been been buying HP's (lots of them)since the 70's. Used the 33s for 2 years but I was disappointed in the display and buttons but liked many other features. The 35s retains the good features of the 33s but with a number of improvements such as the equation editor and improved button (Enter) location. The 35s is just what I've been looking for - well done HP.
Excelent Return to HP Quality July 21, 2008

What can I say? This is an excellent low priced non graphical scientific calculator using RPN entry.
I like the "Classic" look and feel, and have enjoyed using it to solve some simple and not so simple problems I give to my classes (such as Newtons Law of cooling for dead bodies, Radioactive decay, percent oxygen bound to hemoglobin etc).
A great buy for those who do not need a CAS of graphing capabilities!
I highly recommend it!
