professional? June 5, 2008
I kinda feel like a nerd using this one in class because everyone else has the "unprofessional" one. Who do I think I am? It works just like the cheaper version, just looks a little different. So if you are one of those elitist bastards who enjoys the attention when you whip out your iphone in a room full of razr phones then this is the calculator for you. Otherwise, just get the plain ol' BA II plus. The professional won't do your homework for you or anything like that.
 Good for Financial Calculations... June 2, 2008
This calculator is amazing at financial calculations with its ability to calculate annuities and convert from interest rates to discount rates very quickly. The one thing I have against it is that as a normal calculator it's not very effective. It doesn't flash when you press a button so it's hard to tell if you actually hit the button or not, also it doesn't seem to register quick number typing so some times I need to go back and press it again. It runs with a certain "chain rule" calculation order but you can change it back to normal. Either way you need to use a lot of parentheses. (Ex: 5*(1+0.6)^12 needs to be written like (5)*((1+0.6))^12) Overall, I keep a regular scientific next to this one so I can switch between calculations, but it is a pain to have 2 calculators in general.
 Great Calculator May 31, 2008
So far its been a great calculator. The interface is pretty easy to learn and it feels like it has a good, strong construction to it. Comes with a leather protection sleeve.
Excellent and User Friendly May 29, 2008
This is an excellent calculater. Comparing it with the professional edition of the equivalent HP financial calculator, I have to say that this is way better.
It is so much more user friendly. You don't have to remeber the key combinations you have to enter (with no visual feedback as in HP) - it has a scrolling input method. You can hit down arrows and scroll across variables that you want to store some values in.
Very nice calculator.
Excellent CFA Calculator May 25, 2008

Far better than then lower model BA II, saved a ton of time in CFA prep by giving additional features. If you are preparing for CFA, it's a must buy.
