At the moment, the HP-50G is US$52 vs the Prime at US$139 at Amazon.com.
Aside from the price difference, they are very different calculators.
The Prime is more student focused while the 50G is more of a hand tool.
The Prime has a color, back-lit touch screen display and needs to be charged every couple of weeks or so. The 50G has a low resolution B/W screen and will run for months on AA batteries.
These are just a few of the differences. You can download the emulators and manuals for both to try them out.
