BA II
Bought this calculator a few months ago and it has already paid for itself many times over. I also own the HP12C and the 19B for a number of years (as well as other TI calcs) but prefer the BA II for high pressure situations i.e. CFA exam and purchasing any item with financing.Was recently at an auto dealership helping my girlfriend buy a car and saved lots of $ and frustration by having this little jewel along. The finance mgr started quoting some strange monthly pmts and I was able to sit h...

Great for the money. Comparison with HP17BII+
It's hard for me to give anything 5 stars, but for about $30 this calculator is such a great bargain. If it was more expensive, I would give it 4 stars. The other calculator I tried was the HP17BII+. My HP stopped working after 3 weeks. I will probably stick with the BAII+, but I did like the HP's ability to store functions.Pros
- Lots of built-in functions. Seems like as many or more built-in financial functions than the HP17BII+.
- Better statistics functionality than the HP17BII+. St...

Lots of Power For a Very Reasonable Price
The TI BA II Plus is a great calculator for virtually any business application. I am currently using it in some graduate business courses and haven't found anything it can't handle. Unlike some reviewers I have not had any problems with build quality, and although the paper quality in the included manual is apparently low grade, recycled newsprint, I don't mind as the directions are very encompassing and complete. I have been a long time TI calculator user, and actually use my older TI-30X...

CFA users Choose TI BAII Plus
This review is directed toward those taking the CFA exams. The TI BA II plus calculator is more straight forward than the HP 12C for the range of questions asked on the CFA. The BA II Plus calculates faster than the HP, and is less expensive.
If you need the button quality and durablity of the HP 12C unit, upgrade and buy the TI BA II Plus "professional" - this unit has a brushed aluminum case and buttons similar to a HP 12C and costs around $50 - similar to a HP 12C.

A superb financial calculator
I am currently a second-year MBA student, and I have owned a BAII Plus for about six years. I use my calculator almost every day. I can state that it is easy to use (the HP 12C is much less intuitive) and contains all the features you need in a financial calculator. The time value of money functions are very well laid out and simple, as are the cash flow, NPV, and IRR worksheets. There is an easy to use function for pricing bonds, and many other handy features. Although financial calculators are...

Great Price! Great Product!
The perfect calculator for any student studying in the field of "Finance". The alpha/numeric display is a plus! Performs all TVM functions, cash flow analysis, and other functions like (sales, and bonds just to name a few). I still have mine after 6 years and just bought one for a friend!

An Excellent Tool for Financial Calculations
I have used the BA-II in my business for over a decade and it is a very good calculator for relatively simple financial applications. I have since purchased an HP-10B that has greater capabilities on more complex problems, but I find myself still using the BA-II for many simple ammortization and Time Value of Money calculations. It is a great calculator to "cut your teeth" on financial problems with. It has a well written manual and the calculator's logic is easy to pick up. So...

Not the Best in the Category
I have used (and own) many of the available financial calculators on the market. I "recommend" the HP-10B to my university finance students, both graduate and undergraduate.The HP 10B is a directly positioned competitor to the TI-BA-II+, but HP's entry is superior. The keys feel more solid, the machine itself "seems" better made. Having worn out more than one of each, my experience has been that the HP has more staying power. And, the TI-BA-II+ often requires more keystrok...
