 A good replacement for my expired HP48GX September 2, 2009
digdug (Vancouver, BC)
I just recieved my new HP50G less than 1 day after ordering it! Wow Amazon/UPS, that was really fast for delivery across the US/Canada border! I'm really impressed with the service.
Having explored the functions for a couple of hours I have found that this calculator appears to be a great replacement for my old and beloved HP48GX. The keyboard has hard keys and nice 'click' unlike the much maligned HP49 keyboard. The smaller re-located entry key will take getting used to. Processing so far seems faster than older models.
I found many of the functions just as I had them on the HP48GX (equation library, matrix editor, constants library).
One that so far looks a little more clumsy is the units editor and converter. The units editor is now a pull down menu instead of using the multi-function keys at the top of the keyboard. So far I've found this a little slower to use.
I'm also missing the 'PLOT' function which has disappeared from the keyboard. I was also missing the 'SWAP' function but have since discovered that it's still there using the right arrow key, but is not labelled.
These little differences aside I'm really happy with the product.

This product suffers from two severe problems. It's extremely user-unfriendly and it lacks complete documentation. Both of these flaws make this device nearly impossible to use to its full potential using the provided documentation.
This HP forum post provides links to complete documentation for the HP 49g+, which is nearly identical to this product: http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1251623695510+28353475&threadId=1155031
I strongly recommend visiting that page if you own an HP 50g.
 Like always except for the appearance July 12, 2009

After being thinking if it was a good idea to change my old HP-48GX, I made the decision to go over this calculator following the roots, sincerely I don't have a problem with the calculator itself, it is really good, I took off one star only because the appearance, I put my old 48GX and the new 50g and....there's something doesn't work, inclusive the HP-35s has a new great look, HP calculators should look different from a Casio or others, let's coming back to the origins.
HP 50g Different but Great June 17, 2009

I have lived in TI land for a long time. But recently, I discovered iTunes U and all the courses one can download for free or a small donation. First, I looked at Stanford Physics lectures. Found that I spent too little time with Calculus in college. Needed graphing calculator for MIT's Single & Multi variable calc courses.
The HP50g is great for this, and the Equation Editor, with a little practice, allows me to type in the examples the way they are written and play with variables. The screen is as good as any. RPN is fast once you get some practice, and if you don't like it, agebraic entry is the default. It seems to be as fast as any graphic calculator on the market.
The only negative I can think of is common to some other graphic calculators. With the display and all the batteries at the top, its a bit top heavy.
Oh, and I could not pass up on the price that Amazon was offering. Even without paying for delivery, I had it in five days. The Texas Instruments price policy probably stops even Amazon from discounting the TI graphing calculators as much. Their loss. Bottom line is this is a great tool for a fair price.
Great machine!! June 13, 2009

It can do almost anything, including the ability to play games on it (I have played SF2 on it, wow), it can resolve equations of almost all kind, but the manual is terrible and I haven't found a way to make programs on it
