Hewlett Packard HP 10B II+ Financial Business Calculator; - ebay.us/oLhpq1 Thanks for watching my video on the history of Hewlett Packard calculators.

My first calculator in 1972 was an HP35. I was in my 1st year of engineering school. It cost $228, which was a hell of a lot in 1972. I’ve also bought an HP33, HP41CV, HP48gx and HP50g. I still have them all. I use the 48 pretty much every day.
HP’s beveled keys should be their trade mark, always. Eliminate those floating type keys. I’ve been fortunate to own 25, 33E, 28C, and 48SX; appreciating each one. But the 25’s uniqueness on configuration was and still is the best optimal configuration. That configuration of that time should be transferred to today’s time.
A minor point: The HP-21 wasn't really a scaled-down version of the 25 - it was really the lower-cost replacement for the HP-35. That's why it had that blue shift key - it was a nod to the blue key colour scheme of the 35. Also, the HP-27S wasn't the first HP calculator to use conventional algebraic entry - the HP-20S, 21S, etc. already had it. In fact, some early HP desktop calculators back in the 1970's were algebraic, as was the HP-71B. The 27S was really aimed at engineering (project) managers and had both scientific and financial functions, but was non-programmable - just like the much earlier (RPN) HP-27.
Didn't see the 32SII, 41CV/CX, and a few others. But overall, an informative video. I still have my 75C and 71B and most HP-IL devices. I always thought the 71B was somewhat awkward, as it was neither a convenient calculator nor a good handled computer due to the limited display.
@@LesBell How interesting. Thanks! With that name in hand I'm able to learn more about it. I see the "HP-41C" Wikipedia article even speak so if: "Hewlett-Packard even sold a version of the calculator where hardly any keys had function names printed on them, meant for users who would be using the HP-41C for custom calculations only (thus not needing the standard key layout at all); this version of the calculator was colloquially known, within HP's Corvallis calculator team, as a "Blanknut" (because the development code name for the HP-41C's processor was known as the "coconut")."
@@Jacob_WasTaken I stopped using the hp35s because it has a trigonometric functions bug which was never fixed by HP despite countless reports. Strangely enough, its sibling hp33s does not have this problem (probably the Chinese software supplier bug). But the hp33s has another problem: it's butt-ugly. Anyway, the apex of the HP calculator line is/was the hp42s, currently available in a superb reverse-engineered version from SwissMicros as their DM42. I bought one some years ago and never looked back. Phenomenal.

Thank you. Nice video. MIssing the 29C, 16C & 32S.
Love HP calculators. My first was the 41CV. Later got a 48G. Both were outstanding.
A whole bunch of calculators I didn't even know I needed!

What happened to the HP 19B? The improved version of the 18C..., also the 16C (Computer Scientist), 41cv, 41cx, 32s, the 97 and the 97s...
The 41 series was the most special. ❤
Once HP got beyond LED display, the beautiful industrial design was gone.
They need to bring those back. They were sexy
pictures of the prime and prime g2 are exchanged. (dark blue button)
you know their differences! I only focus on the hardware version! At least version D!
Great video..some important calculators are missing 28S, 17Bii
And HP 22S
HP’s beveled keys should be their trade mark, always. Eliminate those floating type keys. I’ve been fortunate to own 25, 33E, 28C, and 48SX; appreciating each one. But the 25’s uniqueness on configuration was and still is the best optimal configuration. That configuration of that time should be transferred to today’s time.
The HP 300s + that I have on my desk right now is missing. It is a scientific calculator.😢

I think the video was ok but a lot of the models are missing
I did not see my beloved HP33E listed above! It replaced an TI50something which I never liked. I mourned when my 33 stopped working.
1:00 HP-41C with blank function keys?
The so-called "blanknut", intended for custom applications via plug-in ROM and the use of a template over the keyboard.

it's a shame that hp has discontinued the production of the hp35s. So no more RPN scientific calculator by HP at the moment.
@@DivoLakota thanks, but I don't need a grapich calculator.
I have one sitting on my desk right now

MIssing the 29C, 16C, 32S, and 32S II
You missed the HP-33E
HP-28S?
They need to bring back those sexy red screens efen though battery life is short. People have USB chargers and extension cables everywhere now.
HP 16c is missing
Hp 75 also missing and why the silly annoying music? The years seamed off too Hp 28 appeared earlier.
I didn't see the 49g+.
The story ends on HP 50g, later HP produced only smartphones with slow CPU, low resolution screen and no GSM module !
Coward.
Too bad I sold my 41cx, 28S and 48G. What great devices they were.
😮
