HP 35s Scientific Calculator US$62 Back ordered until May 1.

The HP 35s is Hewlett-Packard's top-of-the-line pocket scientific calculator, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the HP 35, the first pocket scientific calculator, which was introduced in 1972. It is the successor to the 33s and the famous 32SII, among others.

Over the 33s, the 35s adds enhanced complex number support, better programmability, EOS instead of AOS-style input in algebraic mode, and support for vectors, among other improvements. Essentially, it appears to take a 33s, give it a more traditional appearance, and add some of the most important features from the 15C and 42S.

The 35s is also the most powerful calculator approved for use on the NCEES exams.
