Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally!This is a superb upgrade to TI's previous BA II product.I hated the previous model with a passion given the near "touchless" keypad (allowing for frustrating key entry).THIS is the calculator that I would want to use for the CFA exam (did I mention how much I HATED the previous TI BA calculator??).

For those thinking of the HP12C line, I had a 12C for many years and loved it.However, after it got ruined due to a playful two year old, I bought a new one and found it cheaply made compared to the one I bought in the 80's (very disappointing) and have since abandoned using it.Interestingly, I found the following calculation example from a review of the HP 12C Platinum edition to be very interesting:"If possible, I would suggest that potential users and buyers try this data set on both the 12C and 12cP before buying. Clear register. Find [i] after input [PMT]=-1458;[FV]=0,[n]=84,[PV]=103600. The HP12C would take 20 seconds "running" while the HP12cP would take about 30 seconds to give the same answer [i]=0.4059!"

How long for the BA II Plus Professional?I timed it at about one second.

As calculators go, this is a mighty sweet device -- especially given the clear HP-like display viewable at all angles!!Count me as a definite TI BA II convert!
