HP-Prime photo Message #1 Posted by critor on 16 May 2013, 1:09 p.m. Here's a private photo of the HP-Prime taken at the NTCM we were sent today: http://tiplanet.org/forum/gallery/image_page.php?album_id=137&image_id=2556 Sorry about the blur. Edited: 16 May 2013, 1:12 p.m.

Re: HP-Prime photo Message #2 Posted by Michael Kussmaul on 17 May 2013, 3:55 a.m., in response to message #1 by critor Nice - any information on the dimensions? I was wondering how thick/thin this thing is.

I was wondering how thick/thin this thing is. I believe Tim mentioned it was approximately 10mm thick (really thin if true!). From extrapolation the width and height appear to be similar to the HP 39gII (9.4cm x 18.7cm).

Re: HP-Prime photo Message #4 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 17 May 2013, 10:46 p.m., in response to message #3 by Steve Simpkin From the looks of it, this is an Algebraic OS or, is there an RPL setting somewhere?

Re: HP-Prime photo Message #5 Posted by Steve Simpkin on 17 May 2013, 11:00 p.m., in response to message #4 by Matt Agajanian Logic is Algebraic or RPL You don't think they would waste a double width Enter key on an algebraic-only calc :) Programming is similar to the HP39gII (not RPL)

Re: HP-Prime photo Message #6 Posted by bhtooefr on 18 May 2013, 8:00 a.m., in response to message #5 by Steve Simpkin As I understand, there's an RPN mode, but here's what we don't know: We don't know how deep the stack is We don't know how integrated the stack will be with everything else - for instance, if I want to run a program, will I have to run the program as Progname(Arg1,Arg2,Arg3), or do I put Arg1, Arg2, and Arg3 on the stack and run Progname like on an RPL machine? We don't know how similar to RPL it is re: objects being on the stack (but, given that the 39gII does support objects in its "algebraic stack" (which does behave like an RPL machine in algebraic mode, IIRC), I'd guess that it is fairly similar in that regard, but I think programs will be their own different thing, and the CAS/numeric split will cause some behavior changes there, too, I think) For that matter, we don't even know for sure if it's Entry RPN or behaves like Classical RPN as far as number entry goes (but I'd be highly surprised if it were Classical)

I can confirm that. Quote: From extrapolation the width and height appear to be similar to the HP 39gII (9.4cm x 18.7cm). = battleship dimensions d:-(
