What is the difference between this and Platinum edition? Platinum claims to be "fast and powerful". Is that true?

If it was me, I would not pay a cent extra for a "platinum edition", whatever that is. Regular HP12C works great. Sounds like marketing hype to me.

According to HP, the Platinum editition is 6X faster than the regular one. While this might be true, it is however not worth to pay 50% more. The traditional one exceeds my expectations anyway. After all, at least for myself, an average user of this calculator would not notice the speed difference under normal circumstances. So, my suggestion would be, stick to the older one and save about $23.

The 12c and 12c platinum both use two CR2032 coin cells connected in parallel making it possible to change them one at a time without compromising memory. The 12c platinum boasts greater memory capacity plus the ability to use algebraic mode. The 12c non-platinum is RPN only. It is purported that the 12c platinum is faster than the 12c non-platinum but I beg to differ. I own both, and are new, and amortization runs much faster on the 12c than the 12c platinum.

I always have used gold one and i have already tried platinum. It seemed to have a different touch in the keyboard and the disply of the gold one is more clear for me. I prefer the gold one. Regarding fastness I could not see any difference

As usual I used mine a lot at first and really liked it and still do but just use it less because I have less of a need for it. I don't know how to compare both since I have not owned both.

I also have Panasonic platinum vacuum and its the best strength and lifting of all pet hair and anything. It cost about 230$ and I've had it for 5 years. The one you questioned is great for 90$ but considerable differance. I always get cheap version of everything but I was convinced by a actual vacuum salesman and I am very happy. I just recently go lesser panisonic for downstairs and keep other upstairs. The panisonic platinum is sold as a pet hair superior vacuum. It is worth extra 130$. Cheaper is a good value also and much lighter and quieter if that matters.

They are both well made. The real reason to have the platinum over the klein in my opinion is the connector you can use with it. See these connectors and you'll see why it is different (it cuts after the cables are in the connector). Platinum Tools 100010C EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Connectors.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

I have both copies, the Gold has a lot better graphics and situations. I have Win 7 OS. I believe you can get into the game better with Gold. But if you just want the less costly original that is ok as well. Hope this helps. LD

The Platinum edition lists as being 0.5 lbs heavier than the Silver, despite having the exact same features. Additionally, the a slightly more gun metal, or anodized color tone, seeming just a bit sepia-like. The Silver is a much cleaner looking silver color. Both have a deep matte finish. You can compare them at their amazon page: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - PlatinumJust use the color selection tool right below the list price to see the very subtle difference.

With the limited edition, you get a few more add-ons. Other than that, there is not a difference. Also, we have not had any problems with the game other than it takes awhile to install because of the size. It is a lot more realistic than it use to be.

Well; from where I come from, price is always a factor. If both units are fairly comperable and from the same manufacturer; I usually always go with the lower price. I think the Platinum unit is a bit higher in price. The Silver for less is the better deal in my opinion.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

Go for the + - it is the updated and expanded version and you should be able to buy it for about $299 if you shop well. It has everything the original has and MORE!

Platinum hits has an extra video or a special skater to unlock. Not really worth it. Skate 3 is just about the same .

Yes. It is actually inside the SD card and slides out. Be sure it is compatible. I purchased the Platinum and had to send it back for the premium edition (which was cheaper)

The "deluxe" second edition is a scam. Check the customer reviews--everyone says it's just a more expensive version of the 2nd edition. I saw a previous answer to a question like yours, and some dude was claiming you need "deluxe" edition to get the Wildling deck and extra pieces, but that's BS. The game comes with all the pieces you need, so just get the 2nd edition. Oh, and it's awesome!

I've used the performance mode as well. It really depends on what you want. In pro mode I got better than stock, but not as good as the xl

I use it on my touch screen PC and really like it. So many people love to whine about how difficult it is....not really, it is just different and a person needs to learn it. There is a free 8.1 upgrade available through Microsoft to take care of some of the concerns out there. I personally have not noticed a big difference. The way you access a Start screen is a little different and the graphics page allows access to anywhere you want to go, but it is very easy to get to the desktop you are used to. I am still learning all the features.

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80PLUS has a rated efficiency of 92% while G2 version is rated for 80 Plus Gold which is less efficient then Platinum P2 Version. Also G2 version does not have lot of bells and whistles as P2 version such as ECO Mode if you want your PSU to be dead silent. I hope that helps. For efficiency safe and if money is not an issue, EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 Power Supply is one of the best PSU on the market for 1000watts.
