Yet, they still won't do it! Read full review We've told HP what we want and that we're willing to pay for it. Judging by the high prices HP calculators prior to 2001 fetch on eBay, I'd say many others feel the same about HP now. HP no longer deserves to be associated with quality.

I don't expect HP to ever make a quality calculator again. I've asked HP's new President & CEO Dion Weisler to do just that, but I'm not holding my breath. Personally, I'd like to see an HP 15cii and an HP 42sii. In my opinion, the best scientific programmable calculators that HP ever made are the HP 67, HP 15c, HP 32sii and the HP 42s (although I'm very fond of the HP 29c and HP 34c) The best of the bunch I'd have to say is the HP 42s. HP must have read them too and obviously doesn't care any more.

Many scientists and engineers use this calculator today, 25 years after its introduction.'Īround the turn of the century, HP terminated its' calculator development team and decided to reduce the quality of its' calculators. 'This calculator is often regarded as the best ever made in terms of quality, key stroke feel, ease of programming, and daily usability for engineers.
