Amazon.com Review
It's amazing the kind of calculator you can get for $10 these days. The HP 6S is a good example, packing basic scientific functionality into a thin, somewhat attractive blue aluminum shell. This calculator also comes with decent documentation, and Hewlett-Packard even throws in a free vinyl slipcase.What really surprised us about the 6G is its solid design. It may not have all the features the best products in this price range offer, like a two-line display, but it's much more likely to survive being tossed repeatedly into a locker than many of the plastic designs we've tested. The sleek case has almost no flex and features rubber buttons that make the device look virtually waterproof (it's definitely crumbproof). In practice, the buttons are a little too stiff for fast input but worked reasonably well with practice. The design incorporates shift keys that double or even triple the functionality of each key, and it has a backspace button for deleting a mistake so we didn't have to redo the entire equation. The 10-digit display is standard fare for a pocket calculator and probably the weakest aspect of this device.
Because the screen can't show how your equation is shaping up as you enter it (like two-line displays can), it may be a little more difficult for younger students to learn the vagaries of entering data into a single-line scientific calculator. Fortunately, the included manual has plenty of clear examples that explain how all the calculator's functions work. The 6S is certainly not the most powerful calculator money can buy (even in this incredibly low price range), but it's tough and attractive and works as advertised. This model runs on a pair of LR43 batteries, which are included, but be aware that a solar version is also available. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description
The high quality and easy-to-use features of the HP 6S make it the complete scientific calculator, perfect for students.Use the fraction and fraction/decimal conversion for working with irrational numbers. Utilize sine, cosine, tangent, exponential, natural log, and antilog functions for scientific applications. You can perform quick and easy conversions with hexadecimal, decimal, octal, and binary bases, and enter data in algebraic notation, just as you would on paper.
Customer Reviews:
Recommended only if you are exceedingly poor.......2001-10-03
Ick...good thing it's inexpensive.......2001-08-11
This HP calculator isn't innovative, the quality may be high but doesn't feel that way (the backup battery in my solar model was dead when I opened the package), it isn't RPN, BUT it isn't expensive. It is a decent small scientific calculator with an ok instruction manual. It would be great if it had RPN but it doesn't. Alas.
good little calculator but hard to read.......2001-03-17
Eye Catching.......2000-08-14
