You need no other calculator for business

The box all the others came in; it does everything you need it to do, and it eschews needless bells and whistles. Built like a vault; I bought mine (used) in 1983 and it has never failed me, despite being nearly 30 years old. A modern classic, like an Eames lounge chair or a Frank Lloyd Wright building.

Financial calculator

Financial calculator is easy to use and was all that I expected it to be. The manual that came with the calculator is easy to follow.

Tried and True

I see where others have used the 12C for decades; I haven't. I have followed the TA line from the original Datamath up through the Financial Analyst, MBA, etc, to the latest LCD Financial. I looked at the 12C and the 12C Platinum. Like others, I wasn't impressed with the Platinum, either in construction or key feel. As I used the old HP35 way back in the 70's in college I had had exposure to RPN but had to reacclimate to it. I must say, I don't really have a preference, being also quite accustomed to the algebraic form with the parentheses. I have particularly enjoyed my 12C for its ability to fit in a pocket, however. Speed won't match a modern computer, but that won't fit in a pocket! My 12C is indeed Chinese-made but it still has a substantial feel. After years of vertically oriented calculators one has to get used to holding a horizontal one, rather like the early Casio LED's. Also, I particularly enjoy the pads on the back of the 12C that prevent it from sliding all over a surface. As I write this I am in a hotel room with a glass-covered desk and those pads are great! I got my 12C at a great price and thus far it hasn't shown wear. It has a richer appearance than its TI counterpart, for what it's worth. Just a shame about that Platinum; HP should charge a few bucks more and put a decent keyboard on it and upgrade the exterior finish.

Best calculator on the market - Even after 2 Decades!

I am still using the dented HP 12C my father purchased for me over two decades ago, as a graduation present. After so long, it is like a trusted friend that has helped through negotations, successful exams, and many financial decisions. Plus, the price has risen minimally compared to the quality. When my father balked at the price, $50 in 1986, neither of us would know how valuable it would be. Actually, the HP12C was a bargain!

not much to say

Ihere isn't much to say. I have been usng these calculators forever, I have lost 3 of them. To me they are the gold standard in financial calculators, plus is nice not to have to learn everything again every time i change calculator.
