(More customer reviews)Every comment here is right.
1. This calculator can do everything but change the baby's Pampers.
2 It is S L O W E R [drawing a graph] than the class dunce.
3 It is the best graphing calculator for the money.
4 It is made really well and will be working for your heirs long after your in the graveyard [but do leave them the users guide]
5 It uses both RPN and/or algebraic input.
6 No-One whom I know uses all the functions of this calculator.
7 The review is almost scary nearly suggesting this is not a device for mere mortals. Hogwash, my grand nephew who is blessed with the same average intelligence as I has used this calculator in middle school
There is a grand debate: Texas Instruments calculators vs. H.P. Firstly, I am a H.P. user. No doubt, though, for most tasks the T.I. will be easier for most folks but for versatility, accuracy, durability and reliability, or if you are not IN a school which requires a T.I. you are better off with the Hewlett Packard .
To be honest this is not a 'take to class everyday'. if you are in high school unless one is doing some really advanced maths. Even for much collage maths this calculator is 'overkill'.
That written if you can use it, if it is not banned if you require a graphing calculator and have the time to learn how to use this one it is great, and one will find nothing as it for any price.
If you are new to HP or RPN buy a book from Amazon titlled 'jump start The HP 48G/GX by Adams and Potter ... [dont throw away the user guide for use later].
As an aside Iloaned my 48G+ to my grand nephews 9th grade 'girl' and she likes it so much she has replaced her TI with it which suggests that I am in the 48G+ market, agan. [I triied the 49 but the keyboaard STINKS]

HP 48G Graphing Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HP calculators are built to be used by professionals.They are built to a standard of quality you seldom see anymore.Unlike calculators from other manufacturers, people who use HP calculators tend to use them for a VERY long time!I have had my HP48g for 8 years now and it still measures up to the competition.YES RPN entry is different BUT it is FAR MORE efficient to use in lengthy or repetitve computations. Unlike Casio,Sharp, and TI, there is a tremendous amount of professional grade software for scientist and engineers widely available.There are games too. The HP48g is solid and it has an IR port as well as a serial port for connection to a computer or other device.This calculator is a powerhouse!If you are a science or engineering major and you want to be serious about your trade then this has to be a device you own!

HP HP48GX RPN Expandable Graphic Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a serious electronic engineering student in his senior year in college, calculations extensively revolve around converting units including bases as well as vectors.Compared to it's competitions from TI, it is such a no nonsense super-powerful engineering calculator that even the TI-92 doesn't come close to what this 48-GX can do. Entering numbers in RPN format may be quite tricky at first, but after about 4-hrs later, I came to prefer this format over the algebraic one.RPN totally eliminates the need of parenthesis. Algebriac fans can do algebriac entry and/or display too.It has a massive expendable equation library, so there is no need to carry around a ton of formula sheets.I also own a TI-85 and a CASIO FX-115W. Other than not being able to graph, the little $20 CASIO is much stronger and capable than the TI.It can do integration, derivatives, and can easily convert bases (HEX, BIN, DEC) and vectors (POL, REC). Up until I bought the 48-GX, I only used the CASIO.Now I don't have to use the CASIO anymore.I did some comparisons with my friends and found out that this HP calculator has all the ability of a TI-89 and a CASIO FX-2 as well as the usability of a CASIO-FX-115W, in addition to many more features, including easy expendable memory using cards which can be used like floppy disks to store infinite data, alarm clock, dnld and play music, x-fers to other 48-G/G+/GX by means of infrared light, symbolic calculations that can be converted into a numeric answer in one step, add/sub/mul/div polar and rectangular formats together in the same step, and don't forget the UNDO button when something goes oops.This is only to mention a few. It comes with an intro manual, and a very good comprehensive manual.If you are an engineer or a serious engineering student, one day alone with the 48-GX is all you need to famaliarize yourself with it, and chances are you'll never go back to a weak and overpriced TI again. If you don't need 3D analysis, HP-39G or CASIO FX-2.0 is recommendable, which are equal to TI-86.If you don't need graphing, CASIO FX-115W is a good choice.
