 good calculator April 13, 2009

Overall this calculator fits my needs, it's a little complicated but after using it for a while you get use to it, the manual doesn't give you too much help
Great calculator, Great site March 23, 2009

I'm a long-time HP fan, but, I guess as a testament to their quality, I've only owned a few. 28S, 48SX, and now this 50G. My 48SX was purchased in ~1990 (whenever they were first sold), and still works and looks perfectly. If this calculator lasts half that long, it'll be worth it. I missed the "low quality" years that HP apparently went through according to reviews on this site, but I would rate the initial quality of this calculator as very close to my 48SX. Amazon.com was amazing as usual. Calculators arrived the next day in perfect shape. Bought 2. Was shopping for my wife so she'd not borrow my 48SX, and then decided I needed one too. One of them even came with a bonus 1 GIG SD card. As a perk, reading through the manual helped me fall asleep at night. Others have talked about the meager manual, and I would agree with them, that it is less than expected. However, the electronic manual is expansive, searchable, and easy to use. I prefer it.

I switched to the HP 50g from a TI89, and I am pleased so far with how it works. The interface is much different from TI's, so I had to consult the manual to figure out how to use some of the more advanced features. Although there is a bit of a learning curve, getting used to the calculator hasn't taken too much time.
There is one practical consideration that I never thought of. The calculator comes with a leather (or leather-like) case rather than a hard plastic cover. It looks very nice and protects the calculator from scratches, but it allows buttons to be pressed when the calculator is inside. I'll often take it out of my backpack to find it on with a bunch of gibberish on the screen. It only takes a second to clear, but it does drain the battery. If you don't throw it in a bag with a bunch of heavy textbooks, that shouldn't be a problem.
Works great! March 1, 2009

Got this for my son who uses the TI graphing calculators in school. He says the HP is easier to use. I chose the HP because of the legendary durability of past HP calculators. (The HP-15C I bought in 1986 still works great!) This has really helped my son do his homework, so it has worked out well. I haven't used it myself too much, except to figure out how to switch it to RPN. Great feature to let you choose which mode to use. Very capable calculator for the money.

Learning curve a little steep even for veteran HP users. I'm getting used to it but still have trouble remembering some little used functions.
