Nice calculator, but be aware that you will have to update it to get the latest and up to date firmware!
Bought one of these and it lasted only one year.
The HP 41CX, the last iteration of a decade-old handheld computer design, is considered by many to be the summit of Hewlett Packard's calculator legacy. This art-meets-tech is an homage to the 41 CX complete with pre-loaded modules in a modern steel case and display.There is a learning curve, as there was with the original. It may not be your cup of tea, but if you loved the 41 series or are inclined to join a tech cult, this is the price of admission.

Positive: the calculator is very similar in functionality to an HP-41CNegative: 1) the keys have a very cheap feel to them compared to my 41C. 2) battery life seems short. 3) I keep getting a "memory lost" message when I turn it on, which is annoying and I don't understand it. 4) This morning when I tried to turn it on, the screen just flashes and is completely locked up (see video). The reset button did nothing, so I had to unscrew the back and remove the battery. 5) When the battery dies, which is often, you have to reset the time and date before you can use it.Overall: I would gladly pay $350 for a quality HP-41C clone. However, this device is not quality and is almost to the point of being unusable. You're better off getting an HP-41C app on you phone (I really dislike virtual buttons though).Update: it will no longer turn on without the charger plugged in.
Excellent calculator, flimsy LCD. This is the second model I have bought from swiss micros with LCD problems. YOU HAVE to do something about it, guys!
