If you want calculator, you may try your luck with Swiss Micros:

  The DM16C is the programmer's calculator designed to display and
  work with numbers in hexadecimal, decimal, octal and binary, and
  convert numbers from one base to another. It provides a wealth of
  specialized functions, including left- and right-shifting, masking,
  and bitwise logical operations.

  [ https:// www.swissmicros.com /product/dm16c ]

It looks like HP16C clone (for me at least, I did not look into manual
and do not own, but seems to have way more memory then original "16")
and they say titanium case, so perhaps you could do wall test on
it. If you do, please write about results.

Actually, I doubt it is really a clone. Inspired, probably.
