Re: Any news on DM32?

The user manual is up at https://technical.swissmicros.com/dm32/doc/dm32_user_manual.html I just noticed it too. An on-line html manual, not a pdf we could download for in-depth study. You can save an the html web page as a pdf file. Just open the Print dialog for the window in your browser display...

Re: Any news on DM32?

It looks like a bunch of DM32 calculators shipped out today as I too received my shipping notification with tracking. It's being tracked through USPS, although it appears to be initially handled via Netherlands Post. Last time I received something from SM, it arrived quickly on US soil, but then got...

On the positive side, the new colors (yellow and blue) are much clearer than those used on the original HP 32SII (green and lavender).
The original 32SII had orange and blue keys. Only the latest turned to the 48GX color scheme.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

Re: Any news on DM32?

My only real complaint is that the shifted items are really crowded above the keys Interesting to compare with the last year prototype: https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?p=24190#p24190 that looked clearer, especially the 2nd line shifted items. The new (definitive?) layout seems closer to...

Re: Any news on DM32?

The HP-32Sii manual is available here: https://literature.hpcalc.org/community/hp32sii-om-en.pdf I just mentioned that as an observation that so far there is no documentation on the SM website, but assumed that eventually there would be something as well as a link for firmware updates. I own an ori...

Production of the 35S moved to the Philippines in 2015. My guess is that the same was true of the 12C.
Well, at least in the case of the 12c Platinum, not sure if the regular 12c production was also moved. I bought my HP 35s in 2007, when it was still made in China.

Re: New "HP"-15C Collectors Edition

Another thing that I found is that it is made in Philippines, not China, same as the more recently manufactured HP 12c Platinum. I've had a very good experience with the quality of the HP 12c Platinum that I bought in 2022, with none of the keyboard problems that I experienced with the Made in China...

Re: Any news on DM32?

Sounds like we need a new DM32 forum. Anyway, I placed an order for one yesterday with standard CHF 16 shipping, so I don't expect to see it for about a month from now. I didn't want to pay CHF 70 for expedited DHL shipping. The listing says "Coming soon", so I don't even know if they have...

Re: Price increases....

almost 4 weeks ago.... DM42 went up 15% Inflation in Switzerland 🇨🇭 is a bit less but I don't know how many years the price was preserved before. The price has not increased at all since it was introduced over five years ago. Inflation in the USA is 21% over that time period. So, a 15% price increa...
