5 of 5 Exceeds Origional HP-12c Sunday, July 06, 2008
Rowdy Rob from Carroll Valley, PA
Platinum display is 20% taller, 6mm vis-a-vis 5mm & easier to read. New Undo, Backspace, & X^2 keys are a great addition. Only non-finance F-key missing is Pi (can be stored in one of 20 registers). Black on Platinum "Ref Guide" on back is easier to read. New single battery a definite plus. Gold f-Key & labels are now orange, Faster processor chip is definite Plus for financial functions & programs. New ALG mode is nice option for "RPN challenged" users. Great owners manual. I hope the "white" key value/functions are injection molded so they never wear off; like my original 12c, which still functions after 25 years. New case is double thick genuine leather with magnetic flap closure. This makes packed case thickness almost twice that of original 12c.
Bottom Line... If you own the 12c - Definitely go Platinum !!!
If you don't own one yet, get it while yo can... Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 this HP12C is cool as a cat Tuesday, June 10, 2008
t o double from cashflowtownville, USA
Dude. Modeling cash flows on this baby is like a dream come true. Given that excel is so messed up now with the new version cramping on my shortcut keys and all, I may just throw my computer out the window and use the HP 12C Platinum as my primary source for crunching cash flows.
Just kidding. I almost bought an old school gold HP12C, but I had a $25 google checkout coupon which brought the price of this bad boy down to $52. And with extra functions that i'll probably never learn how to use, I figured I had to get the new PLATINUM edition.

5 of 5 Super value Monday, March 10, 2008
A Customer from Bend, OR
This was a really great price on a classic calculator.
It meets my needs perfectly for financial management
of rental property.
I get a little depressed whenever I think of what HP has done to their calculator division, but at least the HP 12C lives up to their old reputation.

5 of 5 Still a great calculator Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Big Jim Swade from Grangeville, Idaho
I had used a HP 41C for 20 years and it finally gave out after it was dropped on a sidewalk and broke the battery pack. I decided to try the 12C as a replacement for it. The 12C has a lot of handy features for finace and the 25th Anniversary Model looks cool and is easy to use if you are familiar with RPN entry. The 41C is still my favorite, but the 12C is a worthy replacement. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 The Best 12 C yet! Friday, February 09, 2007
Michael C. Brown from San Francisco, CA
I have had a 12C for 15+ years and love it. I have also had the 11C and 19-IIB and of all of them, I like this version the best. It is lighter in weight and it attractive. It does all the same old functions and is a solid calculator for general use and great with financial functions such as loan amortization, etc. I like the new leather case as well for this Anniversary edition. Although the case is bulkier than the one before, it is a nice change.
At Buy.Com, I found the pricing on this 12C is among the best pricing around as I shopped a few places online and Buy.Com had the best end cost from a reliable merchant.
Enjoy! Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Better than the regular HP12c Friday, February 09, 2007
Michael A from Atlanta, GA
I purchased the HP12c Platinum for a CPF course. I would highly recommend the Platinum edition over the regular HP12c. Many of my classmates have the regular edition and it is very slow in computing IRR and other more complicated financial functions. The Platinum edition is very fast; I have never had to wait more than a second or two. Although if I had it to do over again I probably would have gotten the TI - BA II Plus, which seems to be alittle easier to use with uneven cash flows and much cheaper. The HP12c Platinum uses reverse polish notation which is alittle hard to get use to, but once you do it makes the calulations easier to enter.
There are good and bad things about the calulator, but it seems to work just like advertised. So, if you are thinking about the regular vs. the platinum. GET THE PLATINUM it is the same calculator, but better. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 The best 12C calculator yet! Wednesday, September 27, 2006
A Customer from NYC
This one is THE one to get if you're into the 12C. All other previous versions of it are not as nice as this one: esthetically or performance wise.
I think this will become a collector's item in a year or two. Was this review helpful?
