DM32

[LinusSch]

Plus42 requires an extra row of keys, same as 48/49/50 and newRPL. 48/49/50 requires Saturn emulation. To me, the DM32 is not just a logical in-between step but also a very desirable calculator - moreso than the DM42.

In my tools, whether they be for calculations or for something else, I want either simplicity or completeness. For calculators, I want either "everything has its own key" or I want my 50g. What calculators have I bought in addition to my trusty 50g? Another one, and a 32S II. (and a DM16L but that is a special purpose tool)

I did consider getting the DM42, but it really doesn't fit, for me. Now I'm considering not whether to get the DM32, but rather how many of them to get!

As for how they are able to do it... "Having an armada of HP lawyers hunting us down was the second-best option." - that does make one wonder, what was the best option? If you ask me, best option would be if they were actually somehow able to get permission from HP. This has been impossible in the past but maybe something changed? Or maybe this isn't the best option, but the third best. Maybe we will have to provide the ROM ourselves for full functionality and it comes preloaded with something considerably simpler. I REALLY don't care.

I saw the ink traps and the colors and I thought "this one I'm almost buying just for looks". Then it happens to be the 32S II, my chosen favourite of all the RPN calculators, and it's getting USB-C with an updated processor. I'm sold, probably twice.
