That's something I cannot confirm. On the contrary: my 35s was bought in 2007 and runs on its 5th set of batteries. Roughly one set in 1 1/2 years. My 34s had the same battery consumption (5 sets) in just over two years (!).

No question, the 34s has far more mathematical power. There simply is no other comparable RPN calculator. But the 35s IMHO is the better device for everyday use. All important math functions are directly available without menu access, and the built-in equation mode is extremely convenient and useful in many situations. Finally, the solver is a class of its own.

That's why I use both of them. ;-)
