However, I still find its complex number support quite useful.
I find that it has the best overall "feel." It supports complex numbers but not as completely as some other models like the HP 42S, HP 15C, or the HP 48GX. HP 32Sii - Not as powerful as some other units that I have listed, but one of the best designed calculators and is extremely easy to use. HP 41CVX - a slightly beefed up version of the HP 41CV, and it has a clock Without modules like this, its power is a bit on the modest side. HP 41CV - the best keyboard of all, a very powerful machine with augmented with application modules (like the advantage pac). HP 15C - Great but I must say over-rated, certainly not as good as its descendent, the HP 42S HP 42S - IMHO the best scientific calculator HP 48G - the non-expandable version of the HP 48GX, has less internal memory HP 48GX - super powerful, but not so easy to use I consider this unit forever relevant, forever great, and a testament to the awesome status that HP once had as the King of manufacturing calculators for REAL ENGINEERS!!!! It has become part of who I am as an Engineer, and it actually transpires confidence (as another author once wrote, and I agree). The physical design is superb, and the calculator is simply beautiful. When I am away from my desk and in a lab or meeting I have found that the HP 32SII always has what I need to quick calculations and simple yet very useful programming tasks (and its programmabilit y is GREAT by the way!). What we need is versatility, ease of use, and enough functionality to be effective when we are not sitting at our desks, where there would likely be desktop access to tools like MATHCAD, MATLAB, etc. What I mean by that is that Engineers today do not really require the over abundance of functions that the more powerful units possess. As I stated in previous reviews, it is not the most powerful, but it is one of the most useful and versatile calculators in a modern context. The HP 32SII really is the best true calculator that HP has ever designed/manufactured. I wish HP would bring back the HP 32SII as a "Special Edition Anniversary" offering. I still love it, and I will always recommend this HP model to all my engineer friends and anyone who does some heavy calculations.
It has served me well over the years and I hope for many years to come. I would highly recommend this calculator to any science student or engineer who would like a very accurate and reliable calculator as their day to day work horse. I've owned several calculators since my original 32SII, but none really compare. The fact HP stopped making what I feel was the best calculator in the history of HP. HP no longer repairs this model of calculator. My only dislike about this great calculator is the inherent problems after years of use, (internal errors) all calculator have some type of problems after awhile and HP lets you run tests on the internal workings so if you do purchase one of these 32SII calculators make sure you run the built in test on all functions of the calculator. My original one began to have issues a couple of years ago, so I purchased a new model of the HP calculator (42 and 33S) both great calculator, but it was nothing like my original 32SII As an engineer I rely on my calculator on a day to day basis. I purchased this HP 32SII calculator because I originally owned one when they first came out in 1989. Great calculator, but unfortunately they do not mfg.
