New HP32SII Message #1 Posted by Ignacio Moratinos on 6 Oct 2000, 2:44 p.m.
Today I saw one of the "newer" HP 32SII at my local store. I saw it from a very close distance, but I didn't have it in my hands. It's only a restyling: green and blue shift keys like the 48G series and the faceplate around the screen in silver (unpainted).
I don't have an older 32SII, but I do have a 42S, that uses a very similar case.
My concern it's that seemed to have a more crude finishing. Keys are made from plastic, but the graphics in them looked a little bit blurry. They key itself seemed not so well finished. May be the symbols are painted on the keys, not moulded?
I know I can look very subjective, but taking in consideration the drop in manufacturing quality that HP has experimented in the last years.
Anyone has other opinions?
Best Regards
Ignacio
