I don't own an HP Prime, and probably never will, but I recall it has < = storage memory than the 50g and is not expandable via an SD card.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, storing memory yes. The 50g wins hands down. But if you want to process things, you need RAM and the 50g has "only" ~250 Kilobyte usable. (I discovered recently that the port1 is RAM, but cannot be used as working memory really well due to limitations of the saturn cpu, see http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-8847.html)

Now 250kb of memory is quite a lot nonetheless but I believe (did not test) the prime could handle lists of a million elements while the 50g cannot unless one builds a very neat framework that moves data back and forth from the SD (that would be quite a project)

Wikis are great, Contribute :)
