Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator
Customer Review: Not Impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe I am spoiled by my old TI-82, but the quality of this calculator is not what I expected for $40. The buttons are frequently unresponsive, causing missed number entries and calculation errors. I am constantly retyping entries, which is frustrating and distracting. The results are accurate, but figuring out how to run present value, bond, and cash flow calculations can be a bit annoying. The input is not really all that intuitive for this technically inclined MBA student, although my problems may be caused by lack of experience in finance. Other students are using the HP equivalent and like it. I would try other options before choosing this calculator.Customer Review: poor entry speed
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm throwing this thing away. I've tried to use this calculator at work every day for the past 3 weeks. It's going in the trash tonight before I leave. We have 5 at work, all have the same issue. You must enter one digit, take a breath, enter another digit, take a breath, enter another digit, take a breath, etc. If you try to enter 123456789 quickly, you end up with 13579, it misses every other number. All 5 perform the same. If you are slow at entering numbers in a calculator, maybe that works for you, but I need it for a living and don't have time to wait on a calculator to process an entry. JUNK. I would give it zero stars if I could.Customer Review: Great Financial Calculator for CFA exam candidate
Summary: 4 Stars
I am going to choice by this calculator because I read others reviews and compared to many retail stores and websites, Amazon offer best price.
This calculator works well so far.Althought I never use other fnancial calculators,I don't know how other Financial Calculators work. this calculator contains all functions that I need. if you are prepareing for the CFA exam, I would recommand you choose BAII Plus Professional. This calculator looks no difference with the BAII Plus but added more function.
As many siad, bottoms do not meet my standard.
However, for me, I think a 2-line screen Calculator is better.
Customer Review: Solid Calculator and great Amazon Customer Service
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product a few months ago to use in my studying for the CFA exam. I'd previously used the BA-35 Solar, which I loved for it's simplicity. Unfortunately, the BA-35 Solar doesn't do some of the more advanced functions such as IRR, so I traded up. This calculator is just as easy to use with tons more functionality.
Also, my initial order was lost in the mail by the USPS. I expected a hassle, but after days trying to figure things out through the postal service, I called Amazon and they apologized (even though it wasn't their fault) and immediately sent a replacement free of charge. I couldn't have been happier.
Customer Review: Glad to have purchased this
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed this calculator for an exam involving calculating annuities. It took a few frustrating days to learn how to use it, but it really paid off during the exam. That being said, it's not great at regular mathematical calculations, I needed a scientific calculator for those. I love the rubber feet, but not the carrying case (it's just a pouch, buttons can be pressed through it, be careful if you carry it around in your backpack). I'm not so fond of the one-line display, or the way the buttons pressed. All in all, Amazon's price was less than half what I'd pay retail, and for what this calculator IS good at, it's indispensable.
