I am pretty sure that for the major part of the forum and the (potential) users the Prime is the state of art: powerful CAS, a good programming language, excellent hardware specs, etc.
I am not a mathematician, just a chemical engineer. I was born on RPL calculator (28s) and maybe this is a strong bias.
I was tempted to buy one Prime, but after trying several times to use in for my job (as emulator) I can say that its paradigma (apps, confined areas for each app, lack of advanced uom handling) is far less effective than the open and flexible HP48 paradigma. This just for my use. I am sure that for other use it is well suited.
Even the future DM43 cannot replace the 48/50 on my desk.
I would like to buy an hipotetic DM48, based on SX or GX, with modern cpu, more memory ad SD card or USB connectivity.
