HP's Tired Basic Calculator Line
Message #1 Posted by Jeff on 9 Feb 2012, 2:29 p.m.

A few years ago HP introduced a new lineup of home and office calculators that looked kind of, well, ugly.

They've gotten rid of a bunch of them, but what's there now is less than inspiring.

I wonder if HP is giving up on them, or if they plan to spruce them up a little.

The scientific and financial ones are fine, but having a good shirt pocket unit is handy, as well.

Hi Jeff,

For a shirt-pocket unit you may have a look at the DM-15CC (www.rpn-calc.ch or elsewhere in the forum). This is a credit card sized HP-15C clone.

Regards

Dirk

Thanks. Too bad they don't make a financial version of the DM-15CC!

Voyagers are perfectly shirt-pocketable, and even a WP 34S will do ;-)

Walter is completely right! Nothing more to say. ;-)
