The 10s+ and 300s+ are already discontinued.

Sadly, HP's own website is one of the most inaccurate indicators of availability.

Kinpo had nothing to do with the 10s+ and 300s+. They are obvious Casio OEM machines.

I did not realize the HP 10s+ and 300s+ were already discontinued. As you say, the HP Store website is worse than useless for determining what calculators are still produced. There are indications that the HP 35S has been discontinued as well.

I see that the HP 10S+ was a functional clone of the Casio fx-300MS. I don't see what Casio model the HP 300S+ was based on. I do see where the calculator forensic result from the HP 300S+ does not match any Casio model (or any model currently in the forensic result table.) It makes me wonder who actually made them for HP?
