it blew my mind that you can buy an hp-15c at best buy still. it's on the shelf sort of by the cameras.
and before you start: when i feel like blowing 400 bucks on a time wasting and useless game console, you bet your ass i'm going to get shafted up close and personal whenever it tickles my fancy, i.e. at 8pm on a tuesday.
- throwaway7645 10y agoDidn't know they still had the 15c at Best Buy as that was a very limited run (yes I blew $100). Are you sure you didnt see the 12c? The 12c looks similar and is still stupidly popular in finance/accounting (it has a lot of pre-built business functions).
- iamacynic 10y agoi think you're right, it was the 12c.
- GenWintergreen 10y agoYup, quite a few of us still use a HP-12c. I have one at my work desk and personal desk; what an absolute beauty of a device.
- recursive 10y agoWhat?? When you feel like buying a game console, you're going to shafted at 8pm on a Tuesday? I don't understand that comment at all.
- triangleman 10y agoI assume he's talking about Best Buy
- throwaway7645 10y agoI was confused as well for a second before remembering my coworker talking about buying a Nintendo switch from best buy at opening.
- iamacynic 10y agoi wasn't talking about the launch, but that's a valid reason, sure. that means last tuesday at 8pm i said to myself, "i want a playstation". and best buy allows people to indulge in that kind of behavior (the reason i was there, and the reason i saw the calculator).
- auxym 10y agoUnfortuntely I don't think that was a 15c, as it hasn't been made in a while. As GP mentioned, there was a batch made in 2012 and that sold out fast. It was probably the 12c, the financial model, that has been continuously in production since the 80s. Unfortunately, it's much less useful for engineers than the scientific 15c. I have a recently made 35s sitting on my desk, but I'm really itching to replace with a SwissMicros DM-15L
- throwaway7645 10y agoAh, thank you for reminding me about those lol. I hear they're nice!
- dhimes 10y agoDon't know about the 15 but I bought the 41-cv as an app for my iphone. Wicked cool. I dreamt about having one when I was a kid, and now I do.
