Calculator capability is outstanding. Biggest problem is a steep learning curve as evidenced by a 700+ page User Guide. Unfortunately, the User & Quick Start Guides are supplied as PDF files and not as printed pages

A sad end to an historic legacy

As a long time HP employee and ardent user of MANY HP calculators since 1984, I was really hoping this machine would be up to the excellent standards of HP devices of years past. Sadly, not so. If you are expecting RPN as you knew it on the HP 48 this does only half the job. RPN only works in numeric mode not in symbolic mode. Even the 48 can be programmed with ALG48, QPI, EQStk and other applications to turn it into a simultaneous equation symbolic powerhouse. The physical design of this calculator is poor, in my opinion. The printing of the alpha characters on the cases is very hard to read. The screen is not easy to see in many lighting conditions other than a darkened room. If you want a fast graphing calculator maybe this is for you but it is already getting dated and unless you simply must have a weak excuse for RPN input then I'd say this is a pass. A tragic end to a once great calculator line from a once great company.

It is approved for use at most universities, and it was prob way over kill for Math 054. But I think that it was good practice getting to use it.

I’ve been an HP calculator user since the early 1980s. Recently I needed something for my job in electrical engineering that would do Algebraic math, and other advanced techniques. The Prime is just what I needed.

Really good. Always have used Texas instruments just because of school but I prefer the setup here. Also the touch screen makes it so much faster for computations.

Greater calculator. It takes time to get used to the key placement.
It could use some better contrast for the screen on a very well lit room

It's actually a really good calculator, it has many functions and can link up to your computer. It might not fulfill all your needs in school depending on the subject, for calculus and heavy math-related subjects it does, for science, not so much. Make sure to keep it updated.

As far as my personal experience (and blogs I've read to help me use it)....this is the best graphing calculator on the market. It is so advanced and cutting edge there are not a lot of tutorials to assist you in using it. Therefore, if anyone knows of a good tutorial that assists in the proficiency of use. Please let me know!
