Why are the HP Prime and HP-35s so unpopular?

[CMarangon]

Hello!

1 - Because they left the traditional line of HP calculators, which everyone was used to.

2 - HP Prime is also unpopular because it stopped using USER RPN language, it is more like a cell phone, killing all knowledge that the HP Community learned for decades. Whoever uses the HP 50 will have to learn all over again.


A similar thing happened with Stargate, that created a spin of name "Stargate Universe", totally different of the original series. This spin off had not the tradictional beings and races of extra-terrestrial races that people were used to seeing. The new series of was cancealed at the second season. Already born dead!

That is my opinion, an HP48 series user since 1994.
I think also that there is no statistics data about if people like or not of HP Prime.
All I can see is that some people that I know prefere HP50.


HP35 I don't know
