If you want a recreation: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm41x https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm41x They also have their own versions of the 15c and so on. I have 3 different models (and one original HP RPN calc) and can confirm they are really high quality. Again though, spreadsheets are a lot more useful to me when I have more than just a simple calculation or two. I think these are mostly getting picked up by hobbyists, collectors, and those who work in labs and need a dedicated device with physical buttons. Note that it doesn't have the big expansion pack things that I think the 41c came with if I'm thinking about the right calculator.

I've been really tempted as my 41CV doesn't work any longer but I do real calculating so little that it would just be a nostalgia trip. (And I have a couple of the horizontal format HP calcs that still work for any of the calculator stuff I do sometimes do outside of an app.)

  Yeah, for me it's mainly a hobbyist thing without much value at this point (probably better uses for my money). I'd love to have something like the 15c with a much bigger screen that does APL with physical buttons. Now that would be cool. I effectively have that on a tablet though (minus the dedicated system with physical buttons).

That link made my day! Thank you. From what I read, their builds perform better than the originals, and they even make landscape versions. Woo hoo! RPN rules in my book. I picked up an HP 32 before they were gone forever, but I've been afraid to use it. It's great to know about SwissMicros; they'll get my business soon.

  Not a problem. I have their DM42 and it feels good in the hands. The case is solid metal too and the screen is nice. I believe the performance is better than the originals (not hard as some of these were sold before my birth and I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore) and they fixed several bugs.
