A Tried and True Business Tool

This calculator wouldn't still be around after 30 years, largely unchanged, if it wasn't a superior product. The platinum edition adds some features and enhancements that weren't available on the original gold 12-C, but the essence of an outstanding RPN calculator remain. All professional financial analysts and professionals should own one of these and learn how to use its powerful features. The 12-C is the quintessential H-P flagship device, despite all of the other wonderful devices they've made. H-P is to be commended for continuing to market it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Switched from HP 17B II+ - Easy

I have been using an HP 17B II, but had to switch for the CFA exam. The system is intuitive and easy to use. Not quite as well organized and simple as the 17, but works well.

Works great, quicker than the older models, great for financial professionals, fits in pocket easily, don't need to break out the computer every time I want to do a quick calculation. Hard to believe it's still this good after 30 years!

12C is absolutely the BEST.

Since its introduction in about the 1075's I have bought at least 12 12Cs for myself, family, and friends. I now have one by my PC (HP of course) and my reading chair. They are an important part of my life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 1992 vintage HP 12C finally turned on for the last time. Replacement is the 12C Platinum, which I bought for less than I paid in 1992 and has done all I have sked it for in the past week.,

There are just a few reasons I can't give the HP 12c Platinum edition 5 stars. First, the web site does not make it clear or easy to discover that there is a new, non-Platinum edition that outperforms the Platinum edition! Second, the graphics on the original are superior to the Platinum edition; they are easier to read and have more contrast. Third, there is one missing feature for all 12c editions; the value of Pi is not built in. There is plenty of unused "shift" (f or g) space left on the keyboard so this would be an easy fix. I suggest "shift f RCL" as the candidate as a solution for the future.

Does what it was designed to do and fast. It's size allows for carrying with and using when pulling out a computer doesn't make sense.
