 VERY CHEAPLY MADE August 10, 2005

I am so disappointed that HP chose to replace the old 10b with this new one. I have purchased two of these and had them both die within 6 months of purchase even though they were only used in an office and never dropped or abused. This new model is cheap, light, and doies not hold up under even minimal use. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OF THIS PIECE OF TRASH CALCULATOR. If you can find an old 10b used, I would buy that instead as we still have several in my office that we have been using with no problems for over 10 years.
Extremely poor quality. August 15, 2005

This is one to avoid. I bought one and the screen and keys went bad after a few months. Bought another one and that went bad after about six months -- same problems.
The calculator seems very lightweight and cheaply made.

Worked fine for two years, then the LEDs started to burn out. Not it's useless.

The first calculator lasted about a year. Then display went out. The second one lasted about a week and the same display problem - digits not properly displayed - hit me during a final exam. Horrible quality! Avoid it if you can!
 Great Value, but quality suspect. Conked out September 7, 2005

Great value for the money because of what it can do. I also have an HP 48 SX that I bought new in 1991, which died in 1994 due to static Electicity (not HP's fault), replaced it with another HP48SX, and still have that one and still use it almost every day, 11 years later!
However, the 10B2 I bought conked out. The display stopped working correctly, however, I think the calculator itself still functioned. The display partially worked. It did this about 6 months after I bought it. IT was so cheap, that I will probably buy another, but check the warrantee more carefully.
