HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
Pros: Clear Display, Quality Construction
RPN is the only way to go with any type of advanced mathematics. It is so much faster and easier to understand once a small learning curve is achieved. Number crunching using DAL is clumsy at best. Casio's are pushed in basic math classes, but once you reach a higher level, go to the HP, you will be happy you did.

been using hp calc since 83 and the 15c. love rpn. been programming them since 28s clamshell model. solid construction and very powerful, like mathematica in the palm of your hand. excellent for processing data from the chemistry or physics lab and can do all kinds of least squares regressions, plotting, and other data analysis.

HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
Pros: Adequate Capabilities, Quality Construction
Some say RPN is difficult. But firstly, it is optional. And secondly, it quickly becomes fast and easy with use.<br ><br >Admittedly, the received documentation is scant. But there is a wealth of documentation available online.<br ><br >Back in the 70's there was no comparison between the HP and the TI in terms of quality, or power. Recently TI has closed the gap on that a bit, but for power HP is still the clear winner.<br ><br >Students probably prefer the TI because it has become the classroom standard. This is unfortunate. Everyone I know who used at TI in school now uses HP at work.

HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
Pros: Adequate Capabilities, Attractive Design
I bought the HP50G as a desk top calculator to keep in the office and supplement my HP35S. I was hoping that it would be quicker and easier to use than my desktop PC; however, it is proving to be difficult and the user manual is, I think, overly complicated and obtuse. The keystroke sequences and menus are not intuitive at all and the &quot;soft&quot; menus on the display are small and difficult to see. I think the HP50G will prove to be a very powerful and useful tool but it will take considerable time and effort to master it. I would not recommend this product to a casual user or a student that just needs a decent graphing calculator. RPN is great and is largely the reason i continue to buy HP calcualtors. I hope HP never gives up on RPN!!<br /> If you need a powerhouse and have the time to invest in learning how to use it, the HP50G may be for you.

HP should think about updating its calculators. TI Nspire CAS CX has outclassed the hp 50g. HP 50g is a very good product, but should match Nspire CAS CX capabilities. TI seems to focus on education, hp more on the professional segment, for which hp could then exploit the use the hp calculators, as the hp 48gx was used before, for data storing with equipment such as metering tools, etc. Why I bought the HP 50g? I love the RPN on the calculator and the reliability. Texas Instruments should incursion in RPN.

HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
This calculator is a world-class product. It has vast functionality that will keep a sharp mind busy for years discovering new features, stored references and programing. It is as easy to use as a basic calculator, but when you need something more advanced just google what you need and print out the excellent HP tutorial on that subject (this calculator has so many features that printing and reading a full manual would be overwhelming - just learn what you need). My son learned to graph, check his quadratic equations, check periodic table and many other things on this calculator very quickly. His chemistry teacher was very impressed that the full periodic table is stored in hp50g, including element details that are only found in advanced chemistry books. It has built in statistics, physics and financial functionality. RPN notation is fun, especially for sharp kids who seem to 'get it' fast and never want to go back to the algebraic again. I would recommend purchasing this calculator for an advanced middle school student and you will never regret it.

HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
Amazing instrument, solve most of the problems that I'm having during my undergraduation in Electrical Engineering, and its seems that its going to solve the future ones too. If you are in trouble or dont want to solve integrations wille studing other lectures for example, this machine solve it in less than a second. Demand some time to study the common functions, for sure it's not one of those machines that you just tipe numbers to solve simple problems. For my lucky I had a mini-course in College. After use it I'm sure that I'll never be able use all the functions on this calculator.

HP makes really good calculators. I am very fond of the old HP 48 but my wife loves this one.

Overall I love the thing but, only get a 1 gig flash sd card, from what I have figured out in manual anything bigger then 1 gig card won't work, and well it won't start with a 4 gig sd card in it.

this is a great calculator for an engineer student like myself. but it takes quite a bit of effort to take a full advantage of this calc. (e.g. i still don't know how to draw a graph :/) there is an official hp website where u can d/l some useful functions, too.

HP 50G Graphing Calculator for Math, Science and Engineering
WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU LIKE IT IS!!! THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX CALCULATOR. IT HAS MORE FUCTIONS, DATA, CAS SYSTEM, AND 3-D GRAPHING THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE USED. I READ THE WHOLE 50-PAGE STARTER GUIDE, AND CHAPTERS 1,2,3,4,AND 8 OF THE HP MANUAL YOU HAVE TO GET FROM HP.COM. IF YOUR SERIOUS ABOUT WANTING TO PASS YOUR ALGEBRA, TRIG, AND CALCULUS CLASS'ES, THEN YOU NEED THIS CALCULATOR. IF YOU DO NOT DO AS I HAVE DONE, YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH THE HP50G!!! READ THE MATERIAL FOR IT, OR YOU WILL BE LOST. ONCE YOU HAVE GOTTEN FAMILAR WITH IT, YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOU CAN DO. VARIABLES, COMPLEX NUMBERS, EQUATIONS, MATRIX, STATISTICS, CALCULUS, FRACTIONS, RADICALS, ROOTS OF ANY KIND,EVEN HAS A STEP/STEP SOLVER TOO!!! IF YOUR LAZY, WON'T READ ANY OWNER'S MANUALS, AND WANT A HALFWAY CALCULATOR A MONKEY COULD OPERATE, THEN GO WITH THE CASIO CLASSPAD 330!!!

This unit is very complete and I really enjoy working with the RPN as it is so effecient-overall I am very pleased with the product. That said however, I would really suggest that HP make the complete manual set available at the point of initial purchase (this is not a cheap tool-I believe a complete manual set should be included in the purchase-not just a cursory owners manual that is extremely basic) so that a more complete user experience could be undertaken. At the time of this writing the updated manual is still unavailable but appears to be scheduled for release. I would definately recommend this unit if you have the need and patience to fight through the online tutorials.

I also own the TI-89 Platinum and to tell you the truth I find it a little easier to use. I'm sure this is because I have a little more experience with the 89 but also can find more online and written documentation concerning the 89. I do find that the display on the 50g is easier for me to read. That is the only complaint I have about the 89 and the 50g is an incremental improvement - not perfect, just better. I played with RPN and over time I may get used to it but I keep falling back to normal entry mode. I was hoping RPN would somehow be an advantage. The 50g is well built. This is my first HP calc so I can't compare it to past devices but it feels solid and well-built to me. I plan to keep exploring the 50g and try to gain more experience with it. Sometime down the road it may replace the 89 simply for the screen.
