Product recommendations for financial calculators?

I am a new business student taking my first finance course and I need to purchase a financial calculator. What product would be best for a beginner?

1. Rather than choosing what's best for a beginner, go for what's an industry standard: HP 12C You'll have to learn a new notation (Reverse Polish Notation), but it's fairly easy to pick up. If you wanted to calculate 2+2 for example, rather than typing "2" "+" "2" "Enter", you type "2" "Enter" "2" "+". This calculator is so good that it is one of only two calculators allowed on the CFA exam as well as other financial certification exams.
2. Check this one out! That's the one we were recommended to buy by our professor http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=1328968&type=product&id=1051384748807
