NEW: HP 15C Collectors Edition

[adumont]

Seeing the Collector Edition hitting the market can be a great news, I have a question though :

What is the quality level of this new calculator? Compared to the original 15C and also with respect to the 15C LE which iirc had key issues. Has anyone seen it, touched it and can vouch it's a great product?

For example, are the key dual molded injection plastic or printed?

I've already seen the batteries are CR5032 like the LE, and not SR44 like the original (bummer).

I know many are very exited about this new product. As HP collectors, one thing we love about HP products is their ORIGINAL quality. We all know the latest 12C (Platinum), the 15C Le, or the HP Prime don't meet the same standards (15yr battery life, dual molded injected keys, readable keyboard (Prime I'm looking at you)...

When I see Collector Edition, but nothing else ensuring me that the products actually meets the quality standards an HP collector would expect, perdon me, but I can't help but think it's a nice business opportunity to sell cheap devices to collectors at collectors price.

If that were the case, it would definitely be disappointing and IMHO, not aligned with HP original spirit.

Sorry for feeling that way, I am excited, but also suspicious on the ability to meet the original quality standards today, quality that we as collectors are seeking. (IMHO).
