Define „need“ ;-) Almost nobody really needs a pocket calculator in the year 2023 if we are honest.

But the HP-16C is maybe one of the calculators that is really useful to some people designing digital hardware and/or doing low-level computer programming. Because it can perform some clever calculations with hexadecimal and binary numbers that most calculator apps on one's mobile phone can't do. And neither Excel or whatever one uses on the computer in the office. And the normal HP-15C can't do that either, only our new 15C CE in HP-16C mode. So if you have one of those you probably don't need an extra 16C!

NB: The HP-16C is one of very few calculators that I don't have in my collection yet. Because I missed some opportunities 20 years ago (I was very arrogant then regarding calculators and wouldn't touch anything that did not glow in the dark) and now prices have risen to a level that far exceeds my allowance for unnecessary toys...
