Customer Ratings & Reviews

bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday. he’s super into nerdy math stuff and he does calculator and mathematics competitions. he absolutely loved it, no issues to my knowledge. i am very happy with my purchase.

After being a dedicated ti user for decades, I decided to go with HP for my first CAS capable calculator. While I was worried about working around the interface, I was surprised to find that it is fairly intuitive and the touch screen is a godsend! Would definitely buy again.

I am happy with the performance of the calculator. It far surpasses all of my previous calculators in speed. The amount of available user memory is adequate, Unfortunately, the calculator quit working several days ago. I hope that between the original warranty by HP and the warranty I purchased through Best Buy it will be fixed.

I'll confess, I use almost none of the fancier features of this calculator. But for basic arithmetic, RPN with a visible stack is the best thing ever, and this is the only calculator on the market that offers it. The screen is great, not issues with the keyboard. I'd rather USB-C to micro-USB, but this is a small thing.

The HP prime is an excellant calculator. It has a solid feel (both case and keys). It unfortunately has somewhat of a learning curve, but the time is well spent for what you recieve in exchange. Go to the HP web site and you will find a good owners manual in PDF format(website address should be somewhere on the package or here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-prime-graphing-calculator/5367459). Save the complete package card that comes inside the plastic package(it has an official HP authentication seal and the serial number for the calculator. Go here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-prime-graphing-calculator/5367459 to get the HP connectivity kit if you want to save your work/programs to a pc. Although there is not near as much web published educational tutorials as maybe the CASIO SG 50, you could probably adapt some of that to the HP with a little thought. The HP Prime is a excellant tool for science and engineering (and probably math) I am just beginning to explore the engineering possibilities....

Most students are locked into Texas Instruments because of school curriculum, but the HP Prime is more powerful. This latest model, the 'G2', has a chip set that is 3X faster than the original Prime, and the original Prime was pretty fast. I would think this was a better choice for engineers or math fans.

Fastest calculator I've ever used! Beats the TI-84 models in everything.

I'm a professional with a lot of experience with RPN calculators. This version of the Prime is perfect. It has a lot of classic features, and it has a lot of newer capability that is fitting for 2020. It's easy to program, and it's documented well. The battery life is great, it's easy to read, and the keyboard is better than anything out there right now. I love it.

Great calculator!! Been using HP over 40 years. The sales associate I had was most helpful and I got my new HP prime as represented, unlike Amazon!!!

I excelled in college statistics and physics because of this. Most problems can be solved using just the built-in apps. So much you can do it might look intimidating first, but help button can help with that somewhat. It’s blazing fast and I love it but mine freezes occasionally after intensive use. Easily fixable by rebooting the system via connectivity kit software. I don’t think I want to use any other calculators anymore.

Easy to use. Simple. Okay. Not too big not too small

The best calculator ive ever had, especially live that its touch screen and has so many options and things to do. Definitely added warranty on this, worth every penny

Surprised to find this updated model at Bestbuy, previously only available overseas. Can confirm the one I bought has a faster processor and more memory. The learning curve is steep though to use more advanced features.

I went with this over the new TI-Nspire CX II CAS due to the more powerful internals and quieter keyboard. There is no doubt, the HP Prime is built well for the most part, and its very fast. My only real gripe, and its a huge one, is with the display. The touch part is fantastic and surprisingly responsive, but the viewing angle and display resolution are just horrible. Considering how much I paid, every time I pick it up and turn it on, I am very disappointed and frustrated. HP could have easily sourced a high-res display with a better viewing angle. Come on, cheap phones have better displays than this calculator. Make me angry.

Ok, for starters. The build and finish for this calculator is superb and I feel this would last me a lifetime. Only drawback is that it’s extremely hard to get out of its case but that’s me nitpicking. As far as calculating goes, its pretty cool. It solves derivative’s and much more. Although, I’ve had this calculator for some time (4 months). I still haven’t used it to it’s full potential because it can DO ALOT! Nonetheless, it’s worth the price and plus more. All in all, 10/10.

I have enjoyed this calculator, and using it has led to the app version becoming the default calculator on my phone. The price is painful. Whether it is worth the price may be a difficult question, but if you can afford it and can benefit from it, it deserves consideration.

Great calculator and really comes in handy for class. Would definitely recommend

Ease of use Impressive lightweight compact durable

I have had programmable calculators starting with the TI-57 and more recently a HP 50g. All great calculators and useful for an engineer doing technical work. This calculator is a mechanical and visual delight. Everything works, and there are numerous third party software that can be loaded. For education there is a classroom system that manages students calculators.

this calculator can do it all, i use it as a electrical engineering student
