Seems steep.
- bombcar 3y agoOriginal was $135 so adjusted for inflation this is cheaper.
- kps 3y agoBuild quality isn't quite as good as the original.
- jmcguckin 3y agoDouble shot keys?
- kps 3y agoPainted. Probably these are the same platform as the current HP-12c incarnation.
- crimsontech 3y agoIsn’t it? In what way? I was just about to buy one but I still have my original 15c and thought it would be good to get a new one.
- kps 3y agoWell, my re-release is the previous one (“Limited Edition”), so it's possible this is different. Mine actually rattles, and the key feel is inconsistent.
- crimsontech 3y agoI'll skip it then I think, this 15C will probably outlive me anyway.
- genjii931 3y agoYeah the keys are nowhere near as good. :(
- tzs 3y agoAnd the Limited Edition was $139.99 when I got one in late 2012. I think I got my original one in 1982 for under $100, because I got two discounts. When I went to the Caltech bookstore to buy one they were sold out, but had one for display that people could try out. They said I could buy that one at a discount. There were no signs of any wear or abuse from the people who had tried it, so I was willing to buy it. But I noticed that it was using comma instead of period for the decimal point, and period instead of comma for the group separator. Neither I nor the salesperson knew that there was a setting to swap these. We though it must either be defective, or somehow the store had actually been sent a model went for one of the countries that uses that convention. The store offered me another discount because of that swap. I thought a while and decided that I could get used to it, and accepted.
- apricot 3y agoYou can switch between the point and comma decimal separators by turning the calculator off, holding down the "." key, turning it back on, then releasing the "." key.
- wkat4242 3y agoWell yes but back then it was pretty difficult tech.
