This is the ULTIMATE ONE!!!!!Īn God said, "Let there be the hp 42S." The handling of complex numbers is top notch, and the unit is very easy to program with enough memory to tackle the toughest problems. This vintage (and still quite relevant unit) represents everything that made HP calculators the go to units for REAL Engineers and Scientists. No other manufacturer (TI, Casio, etc.) has produced anything close. This machine is a marvel and easily the best scientific calculator ever made. I would like to have a working unit all the days of my life. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedĪn God said, "Let there be the hp 42S." - CONTINUED.īought another one.

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. If you'll read the reviews on eBay, Amazon and HP's own public reviews you' ll notice that Kinpo's calculators aren't as good as the one's HP used to make.


Kinpo made the HP 33s and the current HP 35s calculators. Since then, Kinpo Electronics of China has been making scientific programmable calculators and HP has been putting their name on it. 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. The second to last Scientific Programmable RPN calculator HP made.
