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.

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.

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
