Overview

Perhaps the HP-30 series, Spice, was to be released as a replacement for the aging HP-20 series. [2] [3] It has no expandability. The display provided better readability by increasing the digit size and adding commas.

The entry-level was the HP-31E and 32E, that were not programmable; but even the 31E provided a Self-check. [4]

The HP-37E and 38E/C were the financial models of the Spice series.

The battery of these calculators can be changed without using tools. The housing is closed by screws. [5]

Programming

The HP-33E/C (49 steps plus subroutines) [6] and HP-34C (70 steps) [7] and 38E/C (99 steps) [3] are programmable, the C-models have a permanent memory.

The production of the 31E ended in 1980, [8] production of the other Spice models ended in 1983. [7] As this calculator is regarded amongst the very good in terms of quality, key stroke feel and daily usability for engineers.
