 Very powerful hand calculator for math and science April 19, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this calculator as a replacement for my classic model 15C that I bought back in the early '80s. I lost that calculator in my latest move. The last time I used it, it performed like new. HP calculators have well-earned reputation for quality and durability.
I am a big fan of Reverse Polish Notation; so for me an HP calculator is a must.
I just wrote my first program on this new calculator (solve the Quadratic Formula - including the handling of possible complex roots). This calculator is clearly the most powerful I have ever used. It is loaded with math, science and statistical functions. The available storage for variables and program memory is massive (for a calculator.)
A feature I would like to see is some sort of universal connectivity with a computer (to make it easy to print out my program.) It appears that some of higher-end and higher-priced HP calculators have this feature.
But there comes a point in development when a hand-calculator quits being a calculator and starts being a laptop computer - which defeats the usefulness of a hand-calculator.
I'm very happy with this calculator.
Highly recommended.

Comparable to the HP 32s II. HP quality evident although the LCD screen still needs to have a somewhat higher resoultion.

I wasn't used to the double screen format, but this was the only one that was allowed for the Washington State Civil Engineering Professional Engineer license exam. It's a very nice calculator but takes a little getting used to. Now I use it exclusively for my work.

For the money, this is a great calculator. There are two negatives in my opinion. The first is clearing the register. When I am ready to clear, I would prefer not to be asked if I'm sure because this takes extra key strokes and is an annoyance. Also, I would be will to pay a little extra for matrix features. Beyond these two items, this calculator is great and much, much better laid out than the 33c.
 An average calculator from a once-great manufacturer March 31, 2008

I bought my HP35s calculator mostly out of curiosity. To see if HP could retain some of their past glory. I am a structural engineer and have used HP scientific calculators most every day for about 20 years. The best HP calculator ever made was the HP42s (I bought three of them before they were discontinued). The HP35s is a decent enough calculator for general use or college classes but falls short for serious professional use. An important issue is that the programming language is not compatible with the HP41c and HP42s. I write a lot of programs so this is important. The 35s language seems very tedious and hard to use. I also find the display difficult to read. If you are viewing from any angle but straight up, the numbers are blurry and the pixels cast a small shadow below the number. The commas and periods are also way too small. If you spend a lot of time doing math or If you are going to do any amount of programming, you are much better off finding a used HP41c or HP42s on E-bay.
