Amazon.com Product Description:
We're definitely taking this along with us the next time we shop for a house. Though it takes a little effort to master the collection of financial worksheets available on the Texas Instruments BA II Plus, you'll be glad you invested the time and money in this fine financial calculator.

The BA II Plus operates in standard calculator and worksheet modes. The standard mode lets you perform common math as well as operations involving the time value of money--that is, applications such as mortgages or annuities in which payments are equal and evenly spaced. You can also perform trigonometric functions in standard mode.

The more hard-core worksheet mode includes tables for amortization, bond, depreciation, and compound interest. If you're not familiar with such calculations, the very helpful user's manual will guide you through the process. All previous worksheet values are stored in memory, so you don't have to retype all the bond maturity or cash flow analysis figures.

The average user who wants to calculate a basic loan payment will be more comfortable working in the standard calculator mode. We were using the BA II Plus tools for calculating basic interest and payment periods within minutes. Still, it's good to know that the more advanced features are available for those who require heavy-duty financial computing.

Finance students and average users alike will find much to like in the Texas Instruments BA II Plus. --John Frederick Moore

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The keyboard sucks
Having used for a month.Have to push a key very hard in order to enter something.Otherwise, it will just skip.This becomes really annoying when you need to type in something fast, for example, in an exam!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Needlessly complicated, but suitable for Intro to Finance
I purchased the BA II Plus Financial calculator on the recommendation of my Finance professor. Certainly the calculator is specially geared toward financial calculations (Time Value of Money, Interest, etc.) and will save some students a great deal of time. But my gripe with the BA II Plus is in its complexity. It is almost impossible for a novice to pick up the most beneficial uses of the calculator without sifting through a thick manual. It is not user friendly in the least, nor is it a good calculator ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works as promised
I purchased this calculator for a finance class and it does the job.Includes some very helpful functions.Our professor cautioned us to make sure we clear data from the calculator and this one has a tendency to store data and inadvertently use it for another calculation.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - too big and clunky and awkwardly designed
I already have a Texas Instruments BA-35 Financial calculator that I purchased back in 1993. It has served me well. A few weeks ago I misplaced it. After two days of searching, I gave up, and purchased this BAIIplus to replace it.Luckily, I found the BA-35 a day later.When this new calculator arrived, I was really disappointed in it. First, it FEELS CHEAP...second, it is HUGE and CLUNKY and has a very awkward hard shell that you must REMOVE then snap onto the BACK. It took several tries to get the calculations ... Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Only so-so
This calculator functions fine. What I don't like about it is that you have to very (very) deliberately punch the keys in order to type the number in. If you tap the number instead of deliberately press it, it won't enter. This, I find, slows me down significantly. The keys also feel cheap--like a kid's calculator.
