Hello!

For some reason, the reviewers on this forum highlighted only the bad aspects of this calculator. The weird bugs, 99,9% of all users will never encounter in real life, and the keyboard issues with some batches.

Myself I have two of these calculators and both have good keyboards. My only criticism is the high battery drain which at least one of my specimens suffers from - it will flatten it's batteries within two months just lying in a drawer. But allegedly only some batches were affected by this illness and someone on this forum found a solution by replacing a capacitor, if I remember correctly (I mainly collect them and don't care too much - just take the batteries out when I'm not using it).

Otherwise I think it is a good calculator with a nicely feeling keyboard in best HP tradition and a well readable display. I would rate it a 8 out of 10 points for a programmable scientific calculator.
