Re: Another HP 17BII ? Message #4 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 22 Apr 2005, 11:15 p.m., in response to message #3 by Peter
Hi Peter,
IMHO the older Singaporean unit is the better choice.
The keyboard feedback is somewhat nicer,
the keyboard legends are likely to be double-injection molded,
instead of printed as in the newer models,
and the overall coloring is cleaner, and looks more valuable.
Currently the price of the Singaporean unit should not be
much above the price of an Indonesian unit,
given both units are in comparable condition.
If you're lucky, you'll even get a spiral-bound
manual with the Singaporean unit.
This type of manual is much more practical
because you can simply lay it on the desk
with your page staying open;-)
Regards
Raymond
