Hp12c Platinum
Message #1 Posted by Pierre Brial on 17 Nov 2003, 6:11 a.m.

Hello,

The Hp12C Platinum has received here some cricticism about software problem. But how is quality compared to golden Hp12C ?

By Hp12C quality I mean :

- built tought

- highly readable display

- traditional Hp keyboard (with the key-click)

When one doesn't face a bug, is the platinum fastest than the gold one ?

In fact the only minus I find for the golden Hp12c is the slowness of programs.

Last question : is there somewhere on the net a large picture of the 12c Platinum ?

All the best

Pierre

I hadn't seen the 12C so close before and I don't know if anyone noticed but they got the French wrong: "Fabrique en China" instead of "Fabrique en Chine"

Thank you for the great pictures.

But what about speed and quality of the 12cp, compared to the old one ?

All the best
