Review Summary

This is a review but there seems not way for me to create one.

Appearance looks professional if not dated but once in the hands its easy to see its very poorly made and finished.

The button backup battery holder will be the first thing to break and the battery will not stay in place without it.

The display is hard to read, much harder than their two line $12 calculator.

The plastic is very cheap and poorly finished. I got this new for $45 with teacher discount and its being returned the next day.

Casio graphing is much better physical quality and has superior finance built in as well. I am sure the calculus part of this is great… but if its not well made or easy to read its a waste of money.

HPs origin was calculators, now they are are the bottom of the heap.
