Simply the Best

The HP17BII+ is simply the best financial/business calculator you can buy! The RPN math function makes calculating a long series of numbers much faster. It can also be used in traditional algebratic functions for those who have not yet taken the few minutes to learn RPN.

Very good financial tool

Great improvement over of the classic HP12C. More powerful and faster. All basic functions are easy to find and to handle. Other functions are under menu driven tools. It could be a little smaller to fit the pocket though.

Fine Calculator

I need to use a financial calculator periodically, but not on a daily basis. That means I can use a calculator that is easy to use. Over the years I have had 3 HP-12C's (and they all still work great, and the original is still the best built calculator I have ever had).

2 Line display makes it easy to use; solid feel to keyboard and easy for 1 hand data entry; easily programmable; can use rpn or algebraic data entry

Very lightweight

Was it worth the extra money

NewEgg of course rocks! FedEx is worth the extra money as UPS is absolutely horrid! For those wondering, I bought this calc for my Managerial Finance intro class (BBA core class). I first bought a TI thirty-dollar one from Wal-Mart..

One word--yes! This is a GREAT calculator; I knew, as many others knew, that this calculator would do much more than they'd ever need it to; So! Hehe; The ease of using this calculator far exceeded my expectations; An absolutely great financial calculator for anyone interested in getting one.

It wasn't free None

Brings back memories of DOS days

Determine what you need to calculate, and try to find simplest calculator that can handle the job. "Menu" driven is not always easier in a limited calculator space!

Countless business functions

Difficult to use
