Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: For every application there is a calculator, and for financial functions,this is it. The HP19BII features four display lines with 23 characters each, plus6,500 bytes of memory. Offering over 450 business, statistical, andscientific functions, the calculator is also easily programmable for customequations and functions. Personal information management applications,currency and measurement unit conversions, and functions that help youtrack loan payments, interest rates, amortization, and internal rate orreturn make this calculator a must for all business applications. Advanced users may find the calculator's functions a little dated. Itincludes the ACRS table for calculating depreciation applied to limitedpartnership assets, which was replaced by Modified ACRS (MACRS) in 1986.But many users will find that the extensive functions and programmabilitycompensate for this shortcoming. We especially appreciated the time anddata management functions like the alarm clock, calendar, appointments, anddate arithmetic, number lists, editing, sorting, and storing. The HP19BII usesthree N batteries. It comes with a one-year warranty. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Battery door broken, love the calculatorGreat calculator. But my battery door broke after 13 years! Totally ruined my day. :| (that and the fact that I was working on my taxes when I noticed it). Guess I will have to try tape to keep it together. Originally bought the 19bii while in an MBA program. It has been invaluable. Math, finance, and stats layout are excellent. Love the regression plotting. Alpha and PDA functions are too clunky. Never used them because they were not useful. From a math, finance, and stats perspective ...

When I started my upper division classes, the Prof.'s insisted that their students get a financial calculator. Knowing that cash was tight, they pointed us to the low end calculator's like HP-12's and TI BA's. But when I looked at them, I was disappointed and apprehensive. Then I asked the Prof.'s, lecturers, and guest speakers which calculator they used, I found they used ... Read More Rating: - Right tool for the right jobIf your looking for a machine that you can drop off a building, do sophisticated mathematics, or use as PDA, this isn't it. But if you're a financial profesional that wants a quick, user-friendly tool, it's hard to beat. Yes, my first 19BII disintegrated when it fell off my desk, and the battery door on my second one is held on by tape, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I still own a 12C (it's built like a tank), but trying to do any sort of TVM or cash flow analysis without the ... Read More Rating: - Great for business and MBAGreat device! The best that I've had. Unfortunately, the battery cover is too fragile and broken. The worst thing is that now this model from HP is discontinued Rating:  - Irreplaceable for finance professionalsJust have to log my support for this great calculator, similar to others I bought an HP 19B in the beginning of my college years (1984) along with all the related add'l manuals available at the time (marketing, banking, real estate,?) and have loved and used it ever since - despite religious use of Palm devices since their inception. Yes my battery cover broke also, but high tensile clear tape quickly remedied that. Unfortunately a mishap damaged the keypad functionality requiring a replacement. I'm ... Read More |
