Hello!

As others have said, according to those criteria the 34C is not the calculator you are looking for. It (and the whole "third generation" series of HP calculators) are the most "plasticky" feeling and with the worst build quality of all classic calculators. In this forum, Texas Instruments is not regarded very highly, but they never made anything like those late 30-series HPs, at least not in the 70ies and early 80ies.

So unless you require it's special functions (mainly solve and integrate) go - as others have said - for the real quality: Either an HP67 or 65. They are the calculators which forged HP's outstanding reputation. Solid, reliable, wonderful in every respect. And you will find that a good HP67 will cost much less than one of the few surviving HP-34C's in working order!

Regards
Max

And to answer your question: I do not like the 34C at all, apart maybe from the display (because it can show commas together with decimal points).
