Strengths: Covers all basic financial calculations.
Very Solid Model (enduring normal wear and tear extremely well)
Fast IRR calculation comparing to other models.
Weaknesses: Almost none.
Summary: The model is probably the most popular model and is one of the two allowed calcualter in the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam. A must-have for folks in or planning to be in the financial industry. The learning curve may be a bit steep for beginners comparing to some newer ones - especially if you are not used to the post-poland operation order. But once you start using it you should be able to master it soon.

Strengths: Excellent in every way
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I am a first time user to PriceGrabber and I was very impressed with the web site and with the HP 12C calculator that I purchased. The delivery details were accurate and the calculator is a fantastic calculator. There are so many options available on this calculator, that it will be very useful to me as I am taking a college class that required this calculator.
Thank you.

 HP Financial Calculator Strengths: Product support
Weaknesses: Somewhat small, keys easy to hit 2 of them, Reverse polish typical of HP's
Summary: 2005-08-22 16:09:33 This calculator was needed for an accounting class. Its small size make it nice of you are giong to carry it to classes, but I needed it for a desktop application and its somewhat small.
If you have large fingers, it is easy to hit 2 keys accidentally.
It uses the typical reverse polish notation typical of HPs.
Once you get used to the somewhat complicated instructions for processing what you need done, it works fine.

Strengths: strong, functional
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I think it is the top one. I thought it doesnot have many functions because there are not many keys. but I am wrong, it can do everything you wish to do in finance.

Strengths: 1. industry standard (all old people like it)
2. light weight
3. powerful financial computation
Weaknesses: 1. lack of backspace and undo keys (now available in 12c platinum)
2. only one line of display
3. expensive
Summary: I bought this one for financial exams. Seemed to me, most serious
financial professionals prefer this one. Now I have it, I am debating
maybe 12c platinum will be a better choice though more expensive.
