"It is one of only two calculators permitted to be used in Chartered Financial Analyst examinations, the other being the cheaper Texas Instruments Business Analyst II Plus. Both offer reverse polish notation, an initially counter-intuitive way of entering sums that analysts swear by to calculate cash flows, amortisation, time value of money and mortgage payments. "

I wonder if TI Business Analyst II Plus actually has RPN input.

It doesn't. It only offers AOS and Chain.
