New HP Fun Calculator - for gift

For a long time, I wondered why HP calculator still cling on to its old, conservative, staid design. It is like the only division that refuse to acknowledge that customers do want realiability, solid and yet fun to be seen with.

With this new QuickCalc, the caculator division finally decided to join its more forward looking, customer friendly cousins like the HP Pavilion Home PC.

Designed in US, but assembled you know where, I am glad they retain that HP calculator signature click feel. With HP calculator, you can feel it you have pressed the button or not. It comes in various funky colour that defy description, possibly the nearest shade being green, purple, silver???. It comes with 5 mini screw, on a top row and bottom row, that serve no function except make it look sophiscated?.

Thoughtfully, it comes with a kind of clip (like handphone) for you to tie in a lanyard and hang around your neck?. Maybe to announce you have arrive or almost arrive (financially). It also comes with a magnetic strip at the back, so when you are tired of it hanging around your neck or its colour does not blend in with your dressing, then stick it onto your notice board.
