Re: HP 12C vs TI BA II plus Message #3 Posted by Gene on 29 Oct 2003, 9:57 p.m., in response to message #2 by Jim L
I'm a lecturer for a CFA exam review course. For a while, the video presentations I did on the time value of money using the BAII Plus and 12c were available for free viewing on the web.
The 12c was all there was for quite some time and so it developed quite a following.
Today, the BAII Plus has a great deal of additional functionality and speed that the 12c does not possess, you are correct.
The 12c (perhaps not the VERY recently made ones) feels much more solid...not cheap like the BAII Plus does.
The BAII Plus sells for $29.99, the 12c for $60-80.
I just wish HP made a $30 business calculator that:
1) USED operator precedence...1+2x3 = 7, not 9!!!!!
2) Had built-in trig functions
3) Had more statistics
etc.
