48/50 vs Prime, what am I missing?

[cortopar]

The reality is that most of my needs today could be handled by any business/financial/scientific with RPN. I’ve stocked up on ridiculously cheap 17bIIs as my line of last defense.

For “fun,” though... I’m really enjoying the Pascal-esque programming on the Prime. I wish there was better control of softkeys and stack manipulation. The Home/CAS mode things still bite me at times, but it’s a really fun and impressive bit of kit.

This is probably old hat for some, but the ability to use the touchscreen to draw a graph and have the calculator reverse engineer a pretty good guess at an equation that matches is very cool and has provided me a whole lot of fun in exploring numbers and relationships.

So, from my perspective, for daily use: RPN > RPL == Prime
For programming: HPPL/Prime > RPN > RPL
