HP 20b Available

[mwthomasjr]

I didn't think there were any affordable WP 34S hardware available,
but I got HP 20b from SC Electronics on amazon for $24.99 US.
The appear to be new but in generic packaging.
There still appear to be some available.

there's also a wave of 30B on amazon. I've bought mine for around 40 EUR new old stock in the original blister package.

Just bought the 30b for £37 last week.

Very plastic, and not any quality calculator. Really bad quality feeling of both case and keys. Looks and feels very cheap. I did not expect it to be fantastic, but at least on the same level as my HP 35s (which is OK by me). This is much worse!

I guess it's the the best option, other than a complete home hack hardware build, as the 20b is probably not better?

It is worse, actually.

It feels cheap compared to other HP models, but if you compare it to the competitor's it is actually not that bad.

Yes. I think the expectations is probably different if you have TI and Casio as a reference.

Yup, the hinged keys still feel great compared to the mushy rubbery crap that TI put even on their highest end machines.
