I’m very happy that this calculator is still produced. The Platinum Edition has a faster chip, but is the same calculator that I used in business for many years. It’s particularly good for amortization and for calculating true interest rates, and computing payments. Great tool for a very reasonable price!

I’ve been using HP 12c calculators for over 25 years. The one I’d been using for years finally played out. This replacement fits the bill. The keys are easily pressed and provide good feedback. All financial functions work well. A must have when you’re away from a pc or app

I recently purchased the Hewlett-Packard 12C Financial Calculator with high expectations, given its long-standing reputation in the financial industry. Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been overwhelmingly negative. Here are the major issues I encountered: **1. Unreliable Keypad:** One of the most frustrating aspects of this calculator is the unreliable keypad. Several keys, including the "1" and "7" keys, often fail to register unless pressed multiple times or with excessive force. This inconsistency leads to frequent errors in calculations, which is unacceptable for a financial calculator. **2. Outdated Display:** The 10-digit LCD display is outdated and difficult to read. The contrast is poor, making it hard to see the numbers clearly, especially in low-light conditions. For a device that is supposed to be used frequently, the display quality is a significant drawback. **3. Slow Processing Speed:** Despite being marketed as a high-performance calculator, the HP 12C is surprisingly slow. Complex calculations take an inordinate amount of time to process, which is frustrating when you need quick results. This sluggish performance is a major letdown for anyone relying on this calculator for professional use. **4. Poor Build Quality:** The overall build quality of the HP 12C is disappointing. The calculator feels flimsy and cheaply made, with a plastic exterior that is prone to scratches and dents. The buttons also feel loose and lack the tactile feedback that you would expect from a premium product. **5. Limited Functionality:** While the HP 12C offers a range of financial functions, it falls short in terms of versatility. The calculator lacks some modern features that are standard in other financial calculators, such as programmable functions and advanced statistical analysis tools. This limitation makes it less useful for complex financial tasks. **6. Difficult to Use:** The Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) system used by the HP 12C can be confusing and difficult to master, especially for those who are not familiar with it. The learning curve is steep, and the lack of clear instructions only adds to the frustration. This makes the calculator less user-friendly and accessible. **7. Overpriced for the Quality:** Given the numerous issues and poor performance, the HP 12C is significantly overpriced. There are far better options available in the market that offer superior build quality, faster processing speeds, and more advanced features at a similar or lower price point. **8. Poor Customer Support:** When I reached out to customer support to address the issues I was facing, I received unhelpful and generic responses. There was no real effort to resolve my problems or offer a replacement. The lack of support added to my overall dissatisfaction with this product. In conclusion, the Hewlett-Packard 12C Financial Calculator has been a major disappointment. Its unreliable keypad, outdated display, slow processing speed, poor build quality, limited functionality, and difficult user interface make it a regrettable purchase. I would strongly advise against buying this product and recommend looking for more reliable alternatives.

While the Platinum version (made in the Philippines) has better keys than the recent versions made in China. The "4" key on the one I received only actuates about 50% of the time (even when it provides deceptive, tactile feedback). Therefore, it is pretty much useless. If only I could go back in time to 1985 and buy five of these for future storage.

If you are new to buying a financial calculator, buy this one. The user base for this calculator is unbelievable. Don't let the "RPN" fool or dissuade you. Using RPN is intuitive and mimics what the brain does when figuring out math using pencil and paper. The batteries in this calculator seem to last forever and are easily obtainable. The calculator is "old" in that it was first produced in the early 1980's. But it is a classic design. When the "candy bar" (i.e. horizontal layout) was in vogue in the early and mid 1980's HP had several calculators, all good, that were in the style of the HP12C. Only the HP12C has survived. HP makes more powerful financial calculators that are faster and more feature packed. They also make one that is less expensive and generally will meet all of your financial calculator needs (HP10B II). However, you simply can't go wrong with this little guy. It was designed in the early days of calculators to be rugged, precise, and give good tactile feedback for accuracy in entering keystrokes. Finally, the instruction manual will give you real world financial examples and thoroughly teach you about all the features of what will become an indispensible tool. If you don't buy one of these now, you will regret it when and if it ever goes out of production. This calculator is an almost perfect combination of form and function. It is a true classic.

This is "the calculator that wouldn't die". There were several other excellent HP calculators in this same series, including the HP-11C and HP-15C (scientific calculators) and the HP-16C (the only Computer Science calculator ever made), all of which shared RPN functionality (think of RPN as an adding machine on steroids), programmability, extremely long battery life (measured in years, not months), a sturdy case and keypad, and the perfect size, weight and ergonomics. Unfortunately, the rest of this line was discontinued by the end of the 80's in favor of fancier models. (I own an HP-11C and an HP-16C as well as an HP-12C; they're all excellent calculators. Used HP-16C models often sell for more than the original list price, they're in such demand.) So why is the HP-12C still around, virtually unchanged from its introduction in the 80's? Because Finance people are VERY conservative, and they just kept buying the 12C because that's what their mentors used, that's what classes were teaching with, and that's where the most help and information is available. They simply ignored newer, fancier models of financial calculators because the 12C already worked so well that nobody needed or wanted anything better! Sure, they're imported these days instead of being made in the USA as the original units were, but the design is unchanged. The packaging has changed, but the user manual has not. This calculator is a classic, destined to remain with us for many years...
