Best Calculator for students in financial management. It helped me save time during my exams. The tutorial book gives enough information to start and there are a lot of tutorials on the web.

Replaced old unit that I have had for near 20 years!! Dependable and accurate as ever!

I am a long-time user of HP financial and scientific calculators, including 12b, 17bII, and 11. HP 17bII calculators deserve a 5 star rating IF -- big IF -- they are manufactured anywhere, except China.

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

HP makes the best calculators. Not even close. Industry standard for finance. Still.

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.

The HP 17BII+ is an easy to use two-line display financial calculator that does over 250 finance and statistics functions, including two variable forecasting. The built in 28K memory allows you to store functions and data.

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

I have been using this calc for work for a little over a year. It has been awesome except for the keyboard not picking up on the first thing I enter. It will do this almost every time. I have got used to it but that doesn't make it right. For $100 the thing should work.

Lightweight

Before buying this calculator I was worried by the many folks who felt that they keys on the device were unreliable or hard to press, but now having this device I'm quite happy with it. In fairness, I have to say that I don't press the keys rapidly -- so I can't say that the unhappy folks are wrong.
