Overview
Not a basic desk calculator, the HP 12CP is sold as a business and financial model with an LCD display and a plastic enclosure. It runs on C batteries, which are included with the unit.
Batteries in the box mean it can be used straight away, and the listing places it in the business and financial class. Functions, memory and exam approval are not described, so the feature set is largely unknown from this page.
Who it's for
A business user or bookkeeper familiar with the HP financial line will find a ready-to-use unit with batteries. Anyone comparing functions should read the manufacturer's specifications first.
