Perhaps one of you will be able to answer this question though. By reading through this thread and others, I see people who seem to be at least semi-educated who boldly call the Prime “crap,“ while others give it high praise. Can someone please explain this?

The Prime is mainly intended for high school and maybe for some college people who don’t want to take the time to learn the awesome benefits of a true RPN machine like the older, albeit less powerful and slower calculators. Up to the 50g, which I also own and like very much, HP made great all RPN calculators which fit the needs of anyone.
My HP41CX got me through college and well beyond. And is still in use everyday.
The Prime is a calculator which, in my opinion, is not even near up to par with it’s predecessors. Had HP made the Prime a more powerful 50g, or even a more powerful 41C, that would have been awesome, and I would not have returned mine the next day I bought it.
Except for the raw power and the colors, it has nothing I need. Although my new 41CL provides all I would ever need.

PS: I’m not trying to start a war here. It’s just my opinion.
