Review: HP12C sublime classic still going strong - The HP12C is legendary for a reason. It remains the gold standard financial calculator for anyone wishing to learn how to use it. I can't think of many other products that have remained unchanged after 36 years of continuous production. In a moment of weakness some years ago I purchased the 12C Platinum. Never again, I quickly swapped back to the 12C this purchase replaced (and only because my bag was stolen on a train just before Christmas). The 12C is not just for oldies on a nostalgia trip, learning/using RPN and manipulating the stack is a productive mental work out in its own right. I think HP have addressed the quality issues that plagued some machines a few years ago. Mine has a solid feel to it and the keys have that positive 'i've pushed it' feed back sensation. The enter key works wherever on the key it is pushed. Personally I find the display easier to read than the 12C Platinum, but this may not be the case for everyone. From experience I know the 12C has a tremendously long battery life measured in years (between 3 and 5 according to use) augmented by a built in turn off function after around ten minutes of inactivity. The landscape orientation of the keyboard ensures much greater stability when holding to use versus the all but ubiquitous portrait format style of other calculators. This feature greatly reduces the risk of keystroke error when the machine is not being used while placed on a desk top surface for example. The housing or body of the HP12C has an inherent slope as it is thicker at the top than at the bottom. This makes the LCD display clearer and crisper to read. I found the slightly sepia LCD display background deals with office lighting glare better than the blue/grey backgrounds normally found on other calculators and also HP's 12C Platinum. It probably sounds a bit geeky to bang on about a calculator but if you do have to use one, you owe it to yourself to own one that at the very least you can enjoy at the same time. HP12C £49.99 - the look of confusion on a colleagues face "just borrowing your calculator err where's the = button, umm how does this work" - PRICELESS.

The price seems high compared with the state of the art graphics calculators available and much of the financial functionality is surpassed by spreadsheet applications. However, as a ready and portable cross check it still works for me. This is a premium product at a premium price and truly classic piece of kit. I wouldn't be without one. ## Frequently Bought Together - HP 12C Financial Calculator - Black/Gold - JINMEI Hard EVA Carrying Case Compatible with HP 12C/HP 12CP Financial Calculator Storage case - Duracell 303/357/76 Silver Oxide Button Battery, 3 Count Pack, 303/357/76 1.5 Volt Battery, Long-Lasting For Watches, Devices, Calculators, And More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/209114347-hp-hp-12c-calculator](https://www.desertcart.no/products/209114347-hp-hp-12c-calculator) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
