I have owned HP calculators since first produced in the 1980's starting with the HP80 and buying one of the first HP12c models. That one is still working although its rubber feet have been replaced but otherwise has worked fine with only two battery changes in 31 years. Several years ago bought a second of these for a second office and it too works fine. My daughter dropped her HP12c recently and so decided to give her my gold model and replace mine with the Platinum (although she may talk me into keeping mine and giving her this one!). The Platinum model comes with a nice case with place for business card, which is nice if lost and someone honest finds it! Also place to engrave your name on the back. Has the usual quick start formulas on the back too although I find with age those get harder and harder to read without magnifying glass. Takes two, easy to find, inexpensive CR2032 batteries which are very long lasting in the lithium form.
What impressed me most vs the gold models I have (more recent may be fast too) is just how fast the calculations are done. Having an undo and back button will be handy and while understand their including both RPN and Algebraic entry form anyone who has gotten used to RPN not likely to go back.
Comes with a quick start guide and a user manual in pdf form. Usually do not like those but found this one loaded quickly on computer and should be relatively easy to use. Fortunately still have my manuals for when they put them out in paper form. But for formulas you use infrequently but are complicated having in pdf and ability to print out those formulas could be extremely handy, better than having the complete user manual. Can always laminate them or put in plastic sleeves in notebook for ones you use a great deal. Companies put out this way to save paper and money but in this case it might actually be an improvement!
It is amazing that in this world of technological change that this calculator has changed so little since its introduction 31 years ago. I cannot think of another technological product that has survived this long. True it is faster now but otherwise its functionality remains the same. Easy to recommend for anyone that has need for a top of the line financial calculator. And over the years the price has dropped too. Have noted some have questioned the quality but so far have seen nothing that indicates to me that this is a problem. Should I find that to be the case I will come back and revise this review.
RPN must be learned, but is a very powerful calculator paradigm. There should be more competition for RPN calculators.
I used the HP 10bII Financial Calculator for years, and was quite content. It was only after I signed up to sit for one of my industry's designation exams that I realized the poor old 10bII was not an approved model. My options were the Texas Instruments BA II Plus Financial Calculator and the HP 12c. Due to my aforementioned desire to avoid looking like I was using the same calculator I owned in grade school, I went with the 12c Platinum.
While I was initially frustrated by the calculator's use of Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) - which can be switched to an Algebraic mode on the Platinum model - I have come to appreciate the much more efficient RPN. I realize that time is rarely of the value that it is in a test taking environment. However, if you are considering this calculator for an exam, I can assure you that it will save you time which, when it comes down to it, will probably be much more valuable to you than the $40 price differential between the BA II and the 12c. Even outside of the exam room, if numbers and calculations are your business, it just makes life a little easier.
The manual that accompanies the calculator is great. It provides everything that one needs to understand the full operating capacity of the calculator, as well as some helpful walk-through examples. I do wish that it was a physical manual instead of a CD. Not a huge drawback, though. Again, if you are purchasing this calculator for an exam, it will be well worth the effort to spend some time perusing the manual to determine which functions and shortcuts will make your life easier. Believe me when I say that, if used properly, some of the ignored functions of the 12c can be a real boon in certain situations.
I do have to say that I have had an opportunity to handle a 12c from what was probably 20 years ago. It did feel like it was of a higher build quality than the 12c Platinum that I recently purchased. It is unfortunate that the new calculators do not possess that same feel, but the reality is that even the new 12c series calculators are, in my opinion, of a higher quality than their peers. Not as good as they were, perhaps; but still the best currently available.
Do yourself a favor and get this calculator. I honestly do not believe that you will regret it.
