HP Prime: a student's view

[TheLastMillennial]

Thanks for posting your thoughts in such detail! I think I can answer one of your concerns. To avoid the flickering, press and hold [on]+[shift] then press [+] or [-] repeatedly. That will adjust the screen refresh rate and mitigate the flickering. It will go from 55hz at the lowest to 125hz at the highest.

The only way I know to tell if the Prime is charged is to turn it on and look at the battery level. If the charging indicator is gone then it's done charging. Charging while off is a little finicky apparently. I really don't know why the rubber boot was included on the cable. My guess is to possibly relieve strain on the plug when plugged into something but that's just a guess. I haven't messed around with Python too much but that's quite interesting that program ran faster on Python than PPL.
