RE: HP 17bII+ Silver solver
The 17BII+ (Silver Edition) is an excellent machine, in fact it has the best keyboard of any machine made today by HP, but the solver does have a bug, and there are also a few other smaller issues making the solver slightly inferior to the 17B/17BII/19B/19BII/27S version.

See these 3 articles for details:

Overall these are not dramatic issues, and once you understand the solver bug, you likely can create equations that can avoid the issue.

I have most HP machines but the 17BII and 17BII+ are the ones I use most often for real work (vs. playing, exploring or following along interesting threads here).
