I am not a lucky guy so I did not even remember entering Keysight's Dream Bench Sweepstakes. Last week I got an email saying I was this month's lucky winner and my prize was a 34470A! :D I have attached some porn, I don't post much so hopefully the attachments are there.
Playing around with it right now. Some things to note in comparison to Dave's review of a few years ago:
You can now display dual scales on the meter.
It has capacitance
The bar graph is still wank, but I have not read the manual.
This thing is going to be a lot of fun! That is the only reason I play around with electronics, because I enjoy it. I never cared much for the name Keysight, but now I'm thinking I will change my name to KeysightFanBoy!

OK so here is the other picture I meant to post.

SCORE! :-+
-
Should also mention that I got a nice set of leads (in the picture,) USB cable and a copy of BenchVue. I don't think any of those things come standard with the meter.

Nice score. Ill trade you a recently calibrated hp3456a and a broken Solartron 7065 for your crappy Keysight. :)

Very cool, but it appears you need to trade it in for a Rigol!

For what I paid for it, the Keysight is the clear bang for buck winner. I'm a hobbyist so that is way there is a lot of Rigol kit on my bench. It is all stock too. >:D
