Cheap Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator


This calculator performs all the functions you'd expect of it. In terms of actual design, the only thing additionally I'd ask for is perhaps a second line on the LCS for reviewing calculations algebraically.

But there exists one huge problem. While the buttons give a very positive *click* when you press them, it seems about one time in 10 or 15 the key press fails to register. As I normally touch-type on the number pad, it renders the device next to worthless. The only way to ensure you calculations come out right is to stare at the screen after each....and....every....key press. That might be great for high school kids taking a finance class, but it is worthless for the "Professionals" the product name would imply might use it.

The only thing keeping this piece of junk from getting a single star from me is that yes, it does technically work. But only if you watch it like a delinquent 12 year old.Get more detail about Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator.
