The outcome of this poll looks to me like a landslide victory of the kind DT achieved recently. ;) Shall we count again?
Well, seems like I'm in the minority anyway :lol:

(BTW, I think a DM71 would be much more of a challenge than a DM17BII [note, not a Plus])

Re: DM42 works with USB but not battery

I was always a fan of duracell but I have to change that opinion. Had a few leaks recently, one in the tv remote and one in a wireless keyboard. These were the devices that didn't have the batteries replaced with eneloops yet. Checking some batteries it shows duracell made in Belgium and duracell m...

Re: Why not a DM17BII?

Why a plagiarism of a current HP calculator? Because it is not a current one? The HP 17BII+ (the current one) is crippled, because it is slower in parts than the 17BII, and because the L() and G() functions are implemented incorrectly. The 17BII Pro app (without the "plus") has the correc...

Why not a DM17BII?

There is an excellent iOS emulator for one of my favourite HP calculators, the HP 17BII: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/17bii-pro/id338125516 Having that software in a DM calculator (DM42 form factor) would be a dream come true for me! I am sure that a collaboration sounds easier than it is in practi...

Re: DM41X here! two or more requests

You might want to look at anti-reflective LCD screen protector foil, like also used for phones and cameras. That should reduce the glare massively.

Re: Announcment regarding shift-Key Color Wear

I don't have a DM42 to compare, but I was positively surprised by the DM41X keyboard. The key feel is better than my DM15L, and equal to my DM41L. That's great to hear. I have a DM41L and DM16L that I bought around 2015 or 2016, and while they certainly don't compare to a real Voyager, I find them ...

Re: Keys 7, 8 and 9 Are not working.

I never used ED so I vote for the CV back.
Same here; for my use, that would make much more sense.
I also don't see myself using ED in the future.

Re: DM41x - relaxing in the sun after a hard days toil

Great review, thanks!

The DM41X has been the only calculator I have used for at least the last month. In the meantime I sold my DM15L. I can't see myself using it anymore after getting spoiled by the 41X.
