About Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
67% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 33% experienced sudden battery drain
I think the battery is defective. Typically, batteries of this type of calculator work for nearly 3-4 years without any problem.
The battery was defective. Batteries of this type of calculators usually work for nearly 3-4 years without any problem.
64% found the button quality, but 36% encountered some lag
I compared the buttons of two calculators and found that the buttons of my current calculator are far superior to the previous one. The buttons have a satisfying click that can be both felt and heard when pressed, much like the 12c does.
The buttons are not stiff and I can feel when I press them. I don't understand the fuss about their stiffness.
I prefer the satisfying click of the buttons on this calculator compared to the previous one, similar to the 12c.
I find the calculator to be flimsy and lightweight with unresponsive buttons that require uneven pressure to respond.

67% praised the clear and bright display
The display is a major improvement with clear visibility from any angle, making it ideal for exams like CFA.
The calculator is perfect for CFA exams with its sleek design and clear display.
During the CFA exam, the display is not a concern as it is clear and consistent from different angles.
The HP calculator has a slightly downward slope, which improves the readability of the display.

71% liked the durable material, but 29% found it flimsy
Battery replacement on the BA2+PRO is convenient with a user-accessible sliding battery compartment that doesn't require a screwdriver to open the casing.
The screen is fragile and every little bump causes imprints on the display. I expect this to continue to be an issue and a more durable screen would make it a 5* review.
The black plastic version's quality is much inferior to the previous silver aluminum version.
From what I've heard, the batteries of this type of calculator work for nearly 3-4 years without any problem.

64% found the design comfortable and intuitive, while 36% found it awkward to hold
The keys are slanted and the product feels like high-quality plastic.
The calculator is designed to be used with one hand and will not slide around the desk.
The calculator has hard keys and slow registering, making it unsuitable for those who enter numbers quickly with both hands like me.
Punching numbers too quickly or neglecting to place perfect pressure on one of the keys can cause omission of various numbers in calculations.

71% liked its compact and lightweight design
The calculator is solidly built and hefty. I compared it with my old Casio scientific calculator which weighs less and is slightly larger in size.
