12c LE - same calculator as original? Message #1 Posted by Frank Rottgardt on 20 Sept 2011, 3:36 p.m. Have a look on this youtube film. She is a hp-official. Does she tell the truth. Colour injected keys? Almost same electronics? Good battery life? As sturdy as original? Did I miss something? from 1:29 on it becomes cool! Enjoy... 12c LE youtube film

Re: 12c LE - same calculator as original? Message #2 Posted by Eric Smith on 20 Sept 2011, 7:07 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Rottgardt I don't think they are using the double-shot molded keys any more. The electronics is definitely NOT "almost same", as it is entirely different. There is not a single electronic component in common with the original.

She says "color injected plastic": "The keys are all color injected plastic and that hasn't changed, they never wear down..." This appears to be a simplified and cheaper process. Indeed, I haven't noticed any wearing down so far, but I may just not have used my 12C+ enough. "That hasn't changed" is wrong, however.

Couldn't you tell it is a comedy escaped from the marketing department? :P Edited: 20 Sept 2011, 9:59 p.m. after one or more responses were posted
