HP27s - any fans?
Message #1 Posted by David H Thompson on 4 Jan 2002, 1:08 p.m.

Hello everyone,

I've been reading a little bit about the HP27s, and it seems to be one of HP's great oddities: Does it have mnay fans out in HP land?

Thanks very much, David

Hi;

I once tried to buy one, but at that time, I did not have the money. And yes, I think it`s a good machine, sort of an improved, new-fashion version of the classic HP27.

Hi,

the 27S is a very nice machine. It has an expression list management like the 17B/17BII. The only thing lacking on the 27S is RPN... It's an algebraic only calculator, but the way of entry is nice, too. AFAIK only made in the U.S. and Singapore, so mechanical quality should not be a problem;-) At least the units I have are fine.

Regards,

Raymond
