HP HP39G Algebraic Graphing Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a high school student the hp39/39/40 series seems to be the best around in this price range. Similarly priced TI models only have 32kb of memory, while th 39g has 232 available to its users. Ive been using the 39g for 2 years now, and its absolutely excellent. Many people have commented that its slow, and i agree, so the solution is to have a common scientific calculator for basic functions (esp fractions and RA trig...) and a greaphics for everything else. This is the quickest and best way of operating, and scientifics are only about $15. The PC connector cable is a must to 1. backup data and 2. download notes, aplets and games from the net. Also to create notes on the pc (heaps better than typing on calculator!). Um yeah, buy the hp39g (or actually, i would buy th3 recently released 39g+, which is the same but with a finance aplet and about 2-3x as fast, esp graphing)

Product Description:
Combining excellent usability with powerful features, the Hewlett-Packard algebraic graphing calculator is ideal for students, ranging from middle school algebra all the way up to high school and college level. Don't let the calculator's slim design fool you. Although it's compact and easy to slip in a pocket or desk drawer, the functions are meaty, and the high-contrast 131 x 64-pixel screen enables you to see more of your work.
Clearly designed for students, the calculator features a textbook mode allowing users to enter and view equations and expressions, electronic lessons adapted from textbook topics, and a split screen for side-by-side comparisons. And in the "Dang, that's cool" category, the calculator even features an infrared port enabling students to send data, equations, notes, and e-lessons to study buddies (no cheating, though!). The HP396 can also be hooked up to your PC or even an overhead display unit.
The keyboard is relatively friendly, featuring big keys with soft edges and wide key spacing for better keystroke accuracy. It runs on three AAA batteries and includes a one-year warranty.
