HP 12C algebraic mode and '=' sign

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2007
Review: I don't know how all the previous reviews missed this but you can choose either Algebraic or RPN and the HP 12C does have an = sign (it's on the enter key). The manual which comes with the HP 12C gives examples in both RPN and Algebraic modes.

HP12C Financial Calculator

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy the HP12C if you are an MBA student or in the finance industry. It will really help if you can figure out how to use it.
Review: If you are an MBA student or would like to pretend to be one, then the HP12C Financial Calculator is the one for you. You are almost looked down upon in school and the finance industry if you don't own one of these puppies. This seems to be a pretty...

Excellent RPN calc. - Much nicer than 33S

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy it for features, ease of use. Learn RPN if you have time.
Review: Well, I bit the bullet and bought a 12C from Samson Cables. This particular version was the Platinum Anniversary Edition. My rationale for purchasing it was that I have worn out several calculators in my day job, and I was not going to move to a TI...

HP 12C calculator is all you'll ever need for finances

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Super reliable calculator/computer for professional and advanced home use
Review: The Hewlett Packard HP 12C is a complete financial calculator that figures everything from simple percentages to complicated return on investment calculations. It is a powerhouse contained in a shirt pocket calculator(with a nice stylish simulated...

Still the best Fin Calculator

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you need a financial calculator. Get this one. You won't be disappointed. It will last longer than your interest in finance.
Review: I used this calculation for my MBA program (2004-2005) while everyone else in the class was using Excel. This calculator took me through two accounting classes and three financial analysis classes. Forget the RPN verses algebratic input, you'll get...

The PC Age has passed it by. So, why do I keep it?

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: It MAY be worth keeping, but it?s not worth buying for anybody but an accounting or finance student.
Review: I've had this calculator for at least 20 years, since the aftermarket little instruction book, which was newly published when I bought it, is copyright 1985. I couldn't find any production date on the calculator, but it's possible that I acquired it...

A tool everyone should own

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2006
Review: I currently work for a finance company which offers anywhere from small unsecured loans up to a full home refinance option. I have extensive use of the HP12c and am very happy with its performance and how practical it is to use each day.

HP 12c Rocks

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2005
Review: This is a fairly simple but standard calculator used for basic financial stuff like NPV and time value of money. It will save you thousands on your next mortgage and probably that much on your next car deal if you just figure how to compute...

Hewlett Packard 12c: It Gets the Job Done, but it's a Little Outdated

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: This calculator performs a good number of financial functions, but it is quickly becoming obsolete.
Review: Making financial computations is quick and simple if you have the appropriate electronic device to help with the task. In the days before specialized calculators, students and professionals had to write out long formulas by hand, input the numbers,...

Excellent calculator. The standard in the industry.

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2004
Review: This calculator is THE calculator to buy, without exception, if you are a finance professional, be it investment banker, management consultant, venture capitalist, bond trader, whatever.

Learn how to use the reverse polish notation. It's...
