HP 33s Scientific Calculator
Product MPN
Key Features
Many calculators are designed to be pocketed and carried around. There are, however, many boxier machines designed to be placed semi-permanently on a desk. These devices have flat bottoms and often have wider buttons. Desktops come in a standard size as well as a small size.
There are three primary types of calculators. Basic calculators are able to do basic arithmetic. Business and scientific calculators generally include many other functions necessary for statistical analysis and higher level math. Graphic calculators are those able to actually display small images, such as graphs.
Calculator Type
Business/Scientific
Calculators that come with the print option are often referred to as adding machines. They offer the option of leaving a paper trail of all (or just some if you prefer) of the calculations you do using the device.

Other Functions
Large display makes for ease of use.
There are various ways of powering your calculator. Solar energy powered calculators have a small solar panel that generates energy when there is sunlight. There are also calculators that use batteries in conjunction with solar power, or just batteries alone. Finally, there are calculators that plug into an electrical outlet through an AC cord.
This function allows you to calculate the value of other currencies in comparison to the dollar amount you type in.

| Pros |
RPN logic |
| Cons |
poor quality, poor key feedback, cluttered keyboard layout |
| Bottom Line |
No question the HP-33s is the worst HP calculator I've ever used. Get a much better built HP-35s instead for about $10 more. |

| Pros |
It's the only non-graphing RPN calculator you can get. |
| Cons |
Not up to HPs standards for robust and functional design. |
| Bottom Line |
If you must have a new RPN calculator now, there's not much choice. Hopefully HP will again make a calculator with a quality to match the price. |
