No

Quote: I know that original voyagers had some extra protective layers inside the calculator, is that still the case with new ones? Overall I’m just generally curious about the construction compared to both original voyagers and third gen 12c calculators.

The very early Voyager calculators had special conductive wrapping of the electronics module as ESD protection because CMOS chips are static sensitive. After further characterization, HP determine that the calculator had satisfactory ESD tolerance without the wrappings, so they were eliminated around 1983. The vast majority of Voyager calculators HP has ever sold do not include the ESD wrapping.
