Cheap! The "manual" is simply a
bunch of large folded sheets of
paper and doesn't explain everything (ie. RND() function is not
mentioned).
Comes with a number of colored face plates to emphasize the toy
character.
At least the keys are solid plastic and not rubber but they lack the
destinct
key click of older HP models.
A similar very recent unit is the HP-9G.
