Agreed. 99.9% of the time, I use Excel or a desktop adding machine. Haven’t touched my TI in a couple of months now, and it’s sitting right under my monitors.
I have been using my HP (the platinum one) almost a year when I heared HP’s should work in RPN mode only.
So the HP platinum has ALG mode too. I did not face any deficiencies for level I (at least calculator wise).
Yeah tbh i normally have Excel open anyway so if I need to calculate something real quick I add a new sheet and do it there. If i’m on the move though I use my phone or ipad.
