RE: HP Prime or HP 50g
Thank You for useful comments.
I've played with emulators of the Prime and 50g of late. I think Prime has more friendly Interface. Perhaps 50g requires longer learning time. Calculator for me is mainly for simple calculations. I need graphing occasionally. In my opinion Prime is better in this respect. I do not know how to have a programming on these calculators. 50g is classical RPL, Prime is something new. HP 35s is not my first RPN calculator, but I have not had so called RPL calculator (like 50g or Prime in RPN mode). I want to try unlimited stack RPL. I understand 50g is more RPL calculator, the Prime is algebraic calculator with RPL opportunity. In favor of the Prime: the Prime is newer, the Prime is future, maybe. I do not know but it is possible HP 50g is last real RPL calculator with RPL programming language. In the future, there will be those calculators as Prime. I like Prime design, big ENTER key (50g has small ENTER key, that is not so well), better display resolution. How about Prime build quality, key senses? One thing I dislike, Prime is immature, there are some bugs in the emulator (Version 2013 11 25. Rev:5447). For example, if I input in RPN mode 1234567890123 (number with more than 12 numerals) then ENTER, I got 1234567890120 (last figure turns to zero). Is this only on emulator? About units, unit conversation, I almost do not use it. I am structural engineer. Most of the calculations I do with a computer. Calculator is a useful additional tool. Sometimes calculator is the only tool for estimates. I will think, which calculator to choose of these two. |
