 Terrible compared to previous version!! July 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I owned an HP 17B II for 18 years (yes, one calculator actually lasted that long!) and I loved it. It did everything I needed it to do, the buttons and display all worked great, and I noticed that it was built in Singapore. Well, the old thing finally died earlier this year and I bought a new HP 17 BII+, which I noticed was made in China. What a disaster! Half the time when I push the buttons, the machine doesn't register anything! That can be a major problem when working with a calculator, because you have to wonder all the time whether the machine actually has all the correct data inputs. I hate this calculator, but I still love the functionality of the HP 17B II. I can't wait for HP to come out with a new version, hopefully built somewhere that cares about quality! I'm really disappointed in HP for charging $80 for a calculator that isn't flawlessly made.
 Great product and fast shipping July 1, 2008
One of the best and most reliable products from HP. I had the newest version (2007) of the HP 17BII+ shipped to me. It's a great calculator, so far so good. Instructions and calculations are easy and simple to do. You will probably need to follow a textbook, but calculations are pretty well-explained in the manual, with a few examples too.
It has two lines of data input. Answers still remain on your screen even if you switch off the calculator, until you manually run another calculation or clear the screen. I use this calculator for statistics such as to find the mean, correlation coefficient and linear estimates, financial calculations such as finding the time value of money, interest, bond valuation, depreciation and cash flows, and regular math stuff. You can even use it for business-related queries, such as business percentages and markup, and input equations into the memory list. You can also do a few currency exchange calculations. Even making changes to a list that you already entered is simple.
It's light-weight, and easy to take around in the handy case. It comes with a pair of batteries, which are easily installed when you open the pack. It also has the clock option, where you can adjust for the current time and date, as well as set appointments. A total of 28K memory to store data, lists and equations. You can also print information using the HP 82240 Infrared printer.
Amazon has proved themselves again with dependable and timely shipping. Thank you.
Love the silver version June 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had gone the TI route with the TIBAII+ which is an easy to use calculator (and i still recommend it for students). I had resisted the hp12c b/c of its speed overall and the non-intuitive interface. This 17bII+ version gives you a fast and modern calculator.
However, i did not like the old one which looked plasticy and flimsy. The silver version is very smooth looking (almost retro) and has the hp12c keys!!! I am finally happy with it. becareful though, amazon had originally sent me the older version rather than the silver one. I had to post a return item thing and they shipped out a new one immediately. I love amazon's service!!
Anyway, this one is not flimsy and can definitely be used at meetings.
 easy use June 9, 2008
I am using a financial calculator for the first time, so I can't compare it with previous models. The instruction book is pretty straight-foward with good examples, and the menus are pretty logical. In contrast with other reviews that I've read on Amazon, I have had no technical difficulties (sticking buttons, batteries etc.). So far I like it.
HP 17bii+ Silver now the best financial calculatorthe June 3, 2008
This is currently the finest HP business and general purpose calculator made. The silver version corrects the durability issues of the prior brown and gold version.
The keypad and enclosure have been dramatically improved and is on par or better than the original "Pioneer" HP 17bii.
The calculator is far better now than the 12c. The key feature is the HP Solve application that allows for algebraic entry of equations and solving for any arbitrary variable. Calculations are fast and the menu system allows for straightforward entry of variables without having to "R/S" programs.
The 17bii+ silver version now has all the bases covered in regards to functionality, usability and durability.
