New products and current offers

The year started with the fulfillment of a long awaited dream: the HP15c was back!

So far, more than 250 units have been sold in less than a month - and that for a premium product! The firmware is exactly the same as the one of the American units - and it still has the PSE bug. So far, it does not look like that HP will release an updated firmware. But if it does happen, we will offer a reflashing service. We have the tools and expertise to do it - the method used is the same for the wp34s. 

Our sources do not assure us that there will be more units in the future. There are still around 200 units left in our stock, and at the current sale rate, they will last for a month. Most of you have already ordered some units, but for those that have not, hurry up!

HP17BII+

The price of the current financial top of the line has been lowered to 89,9 €. Please read the reviews here

Over time, I came to appreciate it over the original HP17bII. The main reason is its much better screen quality. This screen is share with the previous BII+ version (the one in the middle in the above picture) but the keyboard quality is miles ahead. It may well be the best keyboard in the current HP line. Clearly better than the one in the 30b

 

The menu logic was only surpassed by the clamshell HP19bII - which included advanced mathematical functions and three stack registers at sight, but is no longer available. If you are into finance, the HP17bII is the one to go.

 

Wp34s

 

Based on the HP30b hardware, we supply this development made by Paul Dale, Walter Bonin and Marcus van der Cube. 10 € off each purchase go to support the project. Now back with v 3.0 hardware and overlays!

(note - the picture is from V2.2 - there are overlays ofr that version available as well)

 

 

Blue HP50g

 

The blue HP50g will be discontinued by HP. It had been available in Spanish/Portuguese version only (to our knowledge), and we have been asked how many units we need before is taken out of catalogue.

 

It is equal to the black 50g in all details except its high contrast keyboard and lively colours.

 

You can complete your collection for 115,99 €
