Donald L Pierce: I have a pair of these HP12c handheld calculators..I got my first one back in the 1980s when working at an investment house..I got a new one last year just to be sure i always had one..they are totally necessary if you work a lot with numbers or investment. There IS A LEARNING CURVE (it uses..Reverse Polish Logic) but once you get adapted to it, you won't settle foranything else in a handheld. It's bullet proof and tough as nails and comes with a very good ops manual. If you trade stocks or anything else, you need (at least) one of these....

Maui Bob: The standard for decades. Lost my last one in a fire, immediately ordered another. Don't leave home without it. Once you learn RPN you will never go back to a regular calculator (and it's easy to learn! ).

Ftradac: Je viens de céder à l’un de mes petits-enfants une hp scientifique 11C achetée en ….. 1975 ! Voilà donc, me dit-elle, en notation polonaise : «2023-enter-1975-moins….48 ans !!! » ….elle fonctionne toujours parfaitement et cette 12C qui la remplace devrait me voir allègrement entamer bientôt un deuxième centenaire. Ce genre matériel est exceptionnel !!

Realist: If I understand correctly, this calculator's design has not changed appreciably since it debuted in the 1980s. It does what it is supposed to do for anyone who needs to do financial and budgeting calculations. Of course, there is a learning curve, because the calculator requires numbers and operations to be entered in the proper order. But it's very useful for what it's meant to do, so no complaints at all.

Hector: Es la clásica calculadora financiera de HP. Este model cuenta con la opción de marcación RPN o la marcación “normal” ALG.

Patti JF: I love this calculator! I also have the regular HP 12C (gold), but I'm taking a Finance course final in 2 weeks, and I heard the platinum was a lot faster. Before ordering, I read all the negative reviews so I was a little wary. I also saw that most of those negative reviews were posted a very LONG time ago - the first one listed, "BADDER," was posted in 2004! When I sorted by Most Recent, MOST of the reviews were 5 stars!
(Amazon, how does it benefit anyone to list outdated, negative reviews at the top?)

Anyway... on to my very positive purchasing experience. Shipping was very fast! I ordered it yesterday afternoon and I received it today, less than 24 hours after placing my order (Yay, Prime!). And, I am VERY HAPPY with my new 12C platinum! I received a CD with the User's Guide (pdf you can download from CD), a Quick Start guide (paper copy), and a sturdy, leather-looking case. The new case has a plastic window in the front for a business card or some form of ID to show it's yours. Many features are the same as the 12C I already have, but I'm going through the Users guide and working the problems and learn about new features, and everything is...
