Here in Helsinki, it can get cold.

This is why I am stepping up from the HP97 to the 48GX. I will be buying a NOS unit here in Finland for 450 euros.

NEW TO THE UNIT!
What pacs, enhancements, books & software do you rec for it? Leather cases? My first new unit in 33 years!
I intend to delve into it hard. Help me find the deep end, please!

Hello Vagn and welcome to the forum:-)

For that price, it should be a unit with the high contrast B/W display. This can be seen even if the unit is off. If the LCD reflection is a very light grey, it's likely to be a newer unit with high contrast LCD. If the LCD reflection shows a greenish portion, it's one of the older LCDs.

I'd recommend to get a RAM card of 128K or 256K , and check out http://www.hpcalc.org , which is _the_ software archive for the HP 48 series.

Since I'm somewhat biased, I'd also recommend to try SpeedUI, which is _the_ software turbo for the HP 48GX user interface.

Cheers
