A small hand held computer that can be programmed to determine complex coefficients for trade or artillery ballistics.
 
 
 
== Description (Specifications) ==
 
The late {{TL|11}} models are quite capable, with interfaces for GPS systems, laser rangefinders, networking and remote distributed processing capability, and . Some limited use TL-8 handcomps can be produced for Cr10 in massive number to run simple games.
 
* Most handcomps run on batteries, which allow use for a year or more, can charge from any power source with the proper adaptor, or may incorporate small [[solar cell]]s to provide all the power they need.
 
 
== History & Background (Dossier) ==
 
Replacing the [[Calculator]] at {{TL|8}}, they continue to be produced through {{TL|11}} where they are gradually replaced by more flexible [[Commcomp]]s. In their original production styles, they are primitive, have limited computational capabilities, and are relatively expensive, starting at around Cr150.
