HP 10BIIPLUS/B12 Financial Calculator, Black

Needed a replacement calculator for my work as a financial advisor, as well as to do some further professional exams and projects.The calculator seems light in weight and would be easy to carry in a suit pocket. I probably won't bother to use the soft plastic case that came with it, as it seems slightly awkward and most likely isn't necessary in reasonable and responsible day to day use.The calculator feels robust and well made and I would expect it to be good for years of use in a professional environment.The keys are clear and operate with precision. Their various functions are easy to see and work out.It seems easy to use and the quick start manual answers most questions straight off - there is also a full manual available on disk (and online from HP) if needed. Off the record there is also a good image of the calculator available from iTunes, so you can replicate the calculator and most of its functions on your iPad or iPhone if required, which is a boon professionally if you are with a client or in a meeting and you realise the calculator is at home or in the car but you have your iPad or iPhone.... The most significant thing about this, whether HP promote it or not, is that you can use the same calculator and work method across several platforms seamlessly.Time / value for money calculations, such as mortgage repayments, 'what if' scenarios and amortization seem quick and easy to carry out and are in fact a little quicker and easier in most cases that the manual tells you, as often the clearing of specific memories or setting of number of payments per year isn't necessary (that being said, when you need them or just have to be sure, the ability to clear specific memories or set payments per year to something other than 12 is invaluable.Everything seems to work as it should, in a clear and efficient way and there are no obvious eccentricities in regard to how you input data.I could easily imagine this is an instrument that you could 'grow into' in that it certainly looks as if you could use it for more and more advanced levels of work as time went on.I made a trivial error the first time I used the calculator and managed to blank the display having set off a complex calculation but a quick press of the reset button inside the battery compartment sorted it out perfectly.Delivery was quick and on time, despite what I suspect might have been a heavy workload on a busy Saturday.In summary the calculator is light but solid, easy to use and will grow with you to the most advanced levels.

This was purchased for use at work and is easy to use, light, easy to read the digits and has many functions.

The calculator works well but it does not perform non specialty functions that are common to all.

I bought this as it was required for the FRM exam. After following some tutorials online to set it up properly (decimal places, time periods, order of operations) it worked fine and got me through the exam. I would advise practicing with the calculator as the location of the buttons and functions is quite different to Casios that are used more normally. The bond pricing/yield calculating function also takes some getting used to.It is a bit pricey, and I would prefer if it had the formula in-line on screen fully, like the Casios do, but otherwise I can't grumble.

The order came very quickly and was well packaged.The calculator does exactly what I need it to and provides a good level of support and guidance in the instructions.I’m using the calculator for an exam and find it very easy to use once you know the formulas.Quick. Easy and reliable.

Not good with all the fancy calculators but need this for work and exams. Good as it comes with a CD to show you how to use it as well as an easy to follow manual.

Display not as clear as other calculators - i find myself having to pick this up to read the numbers clearly as opposed to sitting beside me and tapping away.+++I bought this for financial exams in the UK - however recently I have found that for the computer based test papers - they won't let you use calculators - instructing you to use the onscreen calculator (irrespective of the examining body rubric). So keep that in mind.

I purchased this calculator on the back of the previous reviewer's comment about his purchase for the CII exams. I found this calculator really good and easy to use with a bit of help from the user manual. Although originally purchased for exam use, I envisage being able to use this in my day to day work as an alternative to spreadsheets.

This has so many features to use. It is very easy to use
