NEW: HP 15C Collectors Edition

[ItsCosmo]

Got mine an hour ago, serial #00441 from Oxford Educational, delivered to US by UPS. No customs delays or extra charges. As far as comparisons go, I have only a Limited Edition to compare to.

The CE keys feel slightly more firm when pressed than the LE (in a good way) and I've experienced no missed keys or double keying at all so far. The display has higher contrast than the LE to my eyes. The bezel around the display has a more plastic-like look and feel, and the brushed appearance is more subtle. That's a little disappointing.

The yellow lettering is brighter and bolder. The printing on the keys is of somewhat better quality IMO. Overall quality feels the same to me, which I consider very good. The CE is 1g heavier than the LE.

The CE comes in the same "simulated alligator skin" display box as the LE. The manual has about the same number of pages as the LE manual, but it is in color! Very cool, can't wait to read it.

As far as function, well it's an HP-15c and without the LE's bugs. Feels like a good purchase, especially if you don't already own an original or LE.
