While the 12C garners the attention of being the "Industry Standard" in financial calculators, the 17BII runs circles around it. But that far from indicates the immense practical value the unit still holds. For the most part, you can pick one up for a relatively reasonable price. The 17BII calculator is a bit of a "sleeper", when it comes to comparing it to other HP calculators that seem to garner the attention of vintage calculator collectors. I own also the TI/BAII+, but I prefer the HP due to its looks and the solver function. SUM is a simplified statistics calculator - still have not figured where to apply it in real life, although entry of a values list, naming it and calculating a sum, mean, min, max, stdev is quite easy. The BUS function is quite useless, as it only calculates the % effects of change (margin up, margin down). The calculator features 10 memory slots to be used with STO & RCL commands, 4 recent answers (to be used with up and down arrows), RPN (hp fans) or Algrebra notation (everyone else). Another use for the solver I have found is storing usual conversion problems (KM to Miles, F to C).

The variable values that you entered can be recalled once you come back to your PC or printed out to an optional battery powered thermal printer (82240A).

This can be a helper when simulating break-even effects for production or price increase cases with sales. User can easily define her favorite functions, enter variables and solve the missing variable.
It was an issue for me during the first day of use, but afterwards, I don't experience it any more.īesides the robust feel of the device, my most favorite thing about this device is the function solver. Be also prepared to use the ON - and + button combination to adjust the brightness depending on the angle under which you look at the calculator. You may need to adjusting time, before you feel comfortable using it. There is a slight issue though with the display - it has a very narrow view angle.

) you also see the full precision number. Display is clear and numbers are shown as you may expect of a financial calculator. It is practically impossible to make accidental entries. The brown plastic feels solid and the device has hard shiny buttons. The device is surprisingly big (not as big as the graphing calculators, but it is certainly not small). It is a simple business calculator, which might be labeled as one of the best there is.
HP 17BII Business calculator (introduced 1987) is a 'must have' accessory for a controller or a business analyst, even though neither of them can be expected to find an application for it daily. One of the best financial calculators: solid feel + solver function
