Difference between 17BII+ versions - x34 - 08-16-2014 08:26 PM
I see different versions of HP-17BII+ on sale.
Version One
Version Two
What is the difference between them? Do they have equivalent Solvers (I want to use Solver only, no TVM stuff), does some version have better keyboard?

A search through the old forum archives (usually the first thing recommended) yields the following comparison.
The best way I have found to search for old articles and discussions is to type (in Google and in this case): HP-17BII comparison site:hpmuseum.org.

Yes, the 2 + models solvers are equivalent to each other, but not to the solvers in the 17b and 17bii.

Thank you, Don, Massimo and Jeff.
This article Comparison Article on three versions of HP-17BII says all I need. Yes, I know the difference between Solver versions of the original 17BII and 17BII+, but was not sure of 17BII+ silver/gold versions.
