Only problem; for a 'professional' calculator, it has no back light display... which would have taken this to a much higher level. The display is fine for well lit rooms, but the slightest ambient dimming makes it difficult to read, as with many calculators -- this one being no different. For the price, however, a back light has to be an user options when needed to be used in all situations. Otherwise, the calculator has nice appearance and ease of use features. I am not entirely sure it is a $110 nor even a $79 calculator, I'd say it is best at $59, and less as a great discount when sold new... it is, still a plastic case with a metalisized style face and buttons.
This calculator has most of the capabilities for a financial person and it is approved for professional exams, CFA. It has a nice hard cover to protect it as with most TI calcultors, except for TI BAII Plus Professional.
HOWEVER, please do not expect it to be a easy to change the battery. You will be assured that your calculator will get ding when it comes time to change your battery.
Also, please don't expect to view the values you have entered for your all variables on the screen....like how you can see a bunch of values on a regular TI-83/84/89 display. Just not possible on a one line display with this calculator! And every time you need to do a fresh calculation, it is a pain to have to hit "2nd" + "clear work" before starting. Aside from being the "approved" calculator you can bring to the exam, it is another piece of junk set to collect dust at the end of the day.
Stick with your regular TI 83/84/89 for all your non-exam use because the Financial Application has all you need.Read full review
I have been using this calculator for a couple days now. It's a nice addition to my sales kit. The capabilities on it are great too and I get to show my clients the truth in numbers. I almost broke it on day one though. The case is not ready a case. It attaches to the back and you can't bring it forward. That's the only thing. So, when I place it in my case, the battery could run down if turned on accidently in storage.
Great Time Value of Money capabilities for a small price
Some of the buttons you need to push are not the most intuitive. I would definitely like a bigger decimal point. But this little guy can do a lot of financial calculations. Once you get used to the order that you need to enter everything, it's pretty simple.
Good points :
- robust, I can put it in a fully loaded bag without worrying about my calculator button damaged because of the hardcover.
- easy to use
- ergonomic
need to be improved :
- functionalities can be added just like the professional version, I would like to buy the professional version if it had the hardcover just like the BA-II Plus
- the button is not as good as my keyboard. Sometimes I skip a number because I did not press the button hard enough.
