Customer Review: Review HP-33 calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
HP-33- it's one allowed for several national professional certification tests. You should get one, if that is what you plan to use, several months ahead of the test date, as it needs a fair amount of practice to familiarize yourself how it works. Once you learn, the 33 can be a real weapon though.Customer Review: spend more and get the HP 35s
Summary: 1 Stars
As a long time user of an HP 15c, I needed a new calculator. Wanting to stay with reverse polish notation (RPN), and needing a calculator which could be used with the professional engineer's exam, I bought an HP 33s. It's hard to distinguish the colors on the keys, the comma and decimal point in the display are hard to see and virtually indistinguishable. The V shaped layout of the keys are awkward. I think this calculator is a waste of money if you really use a calculator on a regular basis (say for work). It's now sitting on my shelf and I bought an HP 35s which also has RPN and is much much better. I still prefer my old HP 15c, which I still use after more than 20 years (it's on its last legs and I'll mourn the day it dies)!!Customer Review: HP 33s
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent calculator. Although some of the other reviewers indicate that the display and decimal point are a problem, all I can say is that I have no problem with it myself (and my vision isn't that good).
The keyboard is layed out very well. In addition, the v shape of the keyboard actually follows the natural curve that your thumb makes when holding this in your hand - so if you do a lot of entering with your thumb (like I do), it is actually pretty comfortable and natural.
The actual layout of the keys is very good. The most used functions are on the primary level and the ones used less often are included as part of the function key. The physics constants are included and although there were a number of comments about spelling out what the constant was, the calculator uses the standard symbol for each of the constants so if you use these constants often, not really too much of a problem.
I grew up on HP's (starting with an HP 25) and this calculator really follows the same progeny. It is solidly built and very easy to program. It has all the functionality that you could really want for virtually any level. The size is a good compromise between compactness and readability of the functions.
Great price for a very powerful and intuitive tool - well worth the investment.

If you know how to do higher math and understand scientific equations, rest ashured you will be ok. Im ok when it comes to most subjects math just isnt for me. this calculator is heard operate. the buttons are too close for a person with any gurth will find it heard to operate. oh and when you go to shut it off let us know how that goes for ya. its a fine calculator yet it does take some knowledge. by the way the manual is bigger than the Bible. have fun!!! phillip, illinois
