HP 12C - The sturdy stalwart August 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't really say any more than has already been said. This calc is the industry standard. I have used TI calcs many years because I could not get the reverse polish logic thing working in my head. Well, a friend encouraged me and now I'm happily sailing along with my 12C. Get one, spend some time with it, and you will be satisfied. And this thing can do more than 98% of the users will ever ask of it. The battery lasts forever too.
Built to Last!!! July 6, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just happened across this product while shopping for something else and was compelled to say something nice about the HP 12c.
I bought mine in 1981 for $120 at my university bookstore. I still use it all of the time approaching 30 years later. Barely even need to change the batteries.
Buy it!
a classic for a reason May 23, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Like many other reviewers, I "turned on" to the HP 12C while earning a business degree in the 1980s. My orginal 12C was misplaced ten years ago, and I replaced it with the HP 17BII. While the 17B is an extremely functional calculator, I replaced it with a new 12C. Why? Mainly battery life (with light to moderate use, I still needed to replace the batteries once a year... with three watch sized batteries, that cost adds up quickly). In addition the 12C is more compact, and I like the setup of the keys much better. Processing speed? Well, I thing the 12C is more than adequate for a handheld calculator. If you frequently find yourself needing to blaze through complex complications, it's probably best to get out your laptop computer. Highly recommended.

Comes brand new and works very efficiently. Worth the one time purchase if you take finance classes or plan to go into finance. I use it more often than my TI-86.
