This silver unit is a nice version of this venerable machine
Silver version is made in Philippines. Keyboard feels OK but not quite as good as 17Bii. Display contrast is best I’ve seen on these yet though. Silver version went back to large enter key compared to gold colored 17Bii+. Also gold one is made in China. Note older 17Bii(not + version) has 6k vs 30k available memory but has a faster solver. It supplies answer immediately where are the + models solve iteratively which is noticeably slower but generally not problematic. Older 17Bii is also slightly larger. Gold 17Bii+ is smallest version and made in China. I have not had keyboard issues on it but don’t use it all that much. I also have not had keyboard issues with my Chinese scientific machines so this may only be an issue for heavy users. It was least desirable version for me. I like the silver versions size and display so very happy with it but the older 17Bii should be seriously considered unless you need the smaller size or additional memory. Those are made in Indonesia or real old ones Singapore. Read full review

slow entry and occasional missed digits
great contrast compared to my 17IIb, but the zero key doesnt always register. if you do it slowly then it will, but if rapid entry is what you are looking for without potential errors then maybe not the bestRead full review

Excellent Calculator
I purchased this to replace a 31 year old HP 17B that died. It is layed out the same as the old 17B very easy to use with menus and preloaded functions. Great feel to the buttons and a very nice looking calculator. I hope this one lasts just as long.Read full review

Excellent replacement for HP 17b original folding unit.
Replaced 30 yr. old HP 17b folding unit. I do not miss the letters. This calculator is lighter and has all the functions of the older model.

Easy to use, many functions and the instruction book helps but for what I use it for it is great and very good for the price.

impressive
Well designed, functional and fun to use.
This was made before Dell and Compaq interfered with HP - totally destroying its engineering exellency and good name. Some of the best qualitative engineered trinkets of all time :)Read full review

Well designed financial calculator
HP is the best! One thing it does lack is trig functions, but those are not necessary for financial calculations but I do include that info here so others are aware.

classic calculator
The HP17BII and the HP17BII+ are true classic financial calculators. Thorough, accurate, and comprehensive, these will handle simple and complex financial problems to solve for the unknowns, as well as keep a running calendar/clock to manage time including appointments.Read full review
