Dedicated alpha keyboard.

It's a really pleasure to use them

That one might be debatable. You still have to toggle in and out of cursor movement vs. soft menus, and having the alpha keyboard on the left isn't the best setup for righties. It could have been the killer feature, but in its current state, it's only a minor convenience at best. And the 48 has the distinct advantage of an alpha keyboard that's easily usable while actually holding the calculator.

Agreed.

I remember in the early 80's a Sharp that equally folds but have the alpha keyboard on the right side. That's the way it should be in the hp clamshells. Forgive me, lefties.
