I have used a 12 C for over 40 years. This is a replacement.Great for all kinds of calculations including NPV and IRR.

I have been buying HP12C's since 1984. This one is completely worthless. It looks legit enough, but the buttons do not press consistently, or click, like every other 12C that I have bought over the past 40 years. Mistyping is a given with this piece of junk. It is either a fake, or HP's quality has gone so far down the toilet as to be unbelievable. Also, the cover is even very soft, thin and flimsy. Time-consuming to get on and off, and not very protective. It was never like this in the past.

I had to recently replace my HP 12c that was lost in a fire. I had that one for 28 yrs and used it nearly daily for work. I highly recommend this calculator- you will not be disappointed!!!!

Enter just as read the numbers. Calculater will know what function are done 1st, 2nd, ....Templates available for more advanced problem solving. No learning how the calculator works, it was designed to know how we work! Solid, dependable, 1/2 the price I paid 35 years ago.

It takes a bit of time to get used to it if you’re only familiar with traditional computing calculators, but once you get the hang of it it’s very easy to use.

This product is exactly what it says it is. Very specific calculator for certain tests and professions. My husband needed it for a certification exam and originally tried to just run to staples or office max. No luck, then Walmart target and even cvs… nothing. So if you need it, order it ASAP

This one works as it should, just like the original I bought 30 years ago. I purchased one of these last year and several months later, the buttons didn’t always register what I wanted to input. Rare could I add or subtract a column of numbers and get the same results twice. This was a quick fix.

Es una calculadora rápida, tiene todas las funciones que originalmente hicieron a la 12C la calculadora top para finanzas en el mundo. El modelo que compré es hecho en China, al momento de ingresar en las teclas tenía que cerciorarme que "reconociera" adecuadamente cada número y tecla ingresado. Sumamente frustrante, la tuve que devolver y comprar una vintage hecha en USA.

計算機としての機能は十分であるものの、最近、液晶表示の右から4桁目の液晶の8本のバーのうち、2本が表示されなくなった。落下等の衝撃を与えたことはないので、単純な劣化と考えられるが、部品の耐久性に問題がある。

The HP12C is legendary for a reason. It remains the gold standard financial calculator for anyone wishing to learn how to use it. I can't think of many other products that have remained unchanged after 36 years of continuous production. In a moment of weakness some years ago I purchased the 12C Platinum. Never again, I quickly swapped back to the 12C this purchase replaced (and only because my bag was stolen on a train just before Christmas). The 12C is not just for oldies on a nostalgia trip, learning/using RPN and manipulating the stack is a productive mental work out in its own right. I think HP have addressed the quality issues that plagued some machines a few years ago. Mine has a solid feel to it and the keys have that positive 'i've pushed it' feed back sensation. The enter key works wherever on the key it is pushed. Personally I find the display easier to read than the 12C Platinum, but this may not be the case for everyone. From experience I know the 12C has a tremendously long battery life measured in years (between 3 and 5 according to use) augmented by a built in turn off function after around ten minutes of inactivity. The landscape orientation of the keyboard ensures much greater stability when holding to use versus the all but ubiquitous portrait format style of other calculators. This feature greatly reduces the risk of keystroke error when the machine is not being used while placed on a desk top surface for example. The housing or body of the HP12C has an inherent slope as it is thicker at the top than at the bottom. This makes the LCD display clearer and crisper to read. I found the slightly sepia LCD display background deals with office lighting glare better than the blue/grey backgrounds normally found on other calculators and also HP's 12C Platinum. It probably sounds a bit geeky to bang on about a calculator but if you do have to use one, you owe it to yourself to own one that at the very least you can enjoy at the same time. HP12C £49.99 - the look of confusion on a colleagues face "just borrowing your calculator err where's the = button, umm how does this work" - PRICELESS.
