| For me, the DM42 is more desirable, hopefully it will get a
| refresh with this upgraded hardware.

| I must be the only person to have a bad experience with
| SwissMicros. I bought a DM16 when I lived in Iceland, it took
| months to arrive, and it was absolutely not worth the wait. The
| build quality was poor, the metal plate was crushed down so half
| the buttons were hard to get to work (but in an undamaged box),
| and when I reached out to them, they told me I needed to send it
| back, the cost of shipping (at my expense) more than the
| calculator and the import tariffs I had.

| Been an RPN lover my whole life but I was really let down with

| everyday, and times I leave it sitting on the shelf for months.
| I also have an HP42, and it eats batteries. I assume it has a
| fault.

| That's because the Voyager series like my HP-15C used silicon-
| on-sapphire technology originally developed for the space
| industry, which is why it will run a decade on a single change
| of batteries.

| The SwissMicros are nowhere near the same class, no modern
| electronics are.

| I wish they would come out with the credit card-sized versions of
