why would anyone wants to spends +200$ for a calculator that soon will turn into a decoration object without any functional use?

What do you mean with "soon"? During the next week, year, decade?
If I got Didier correctly, he may have wanted to say that nothing is made for ever, be it man or machine.

I'd say that most of the calcs which are still working after more than a decade of usage are over-engineered;-)

Which was especially true for many of the older HP calcs, although each series had at least one specific weak point.
