33S Alternatives

[Nigel (UK)]

The WP34S is well worth considering if you are really into RPN programming, need more labels, and love discovering the existence of commands you would never have thought of in your wildest dreams! It may not say “HP” on it (once the overlay and stickers are applied), but it is surely HP in spirit. It does lack the ability to solve or integrate an algebraic expression, and only has 2k of RAM and about 8k of flash memory, but in all other respects it is fantastic. The only problem is the availability of the HP-30b hardware needed to make one, but emulators exist for Windows, Macs, iPads, and even the DM42.

Having said that, I do like the HP-33S a lot despite its strange appearance. What it does it does well.
