RE: Load a Photo Yes/No?
Well-deserved criticisms of the HP Prime, to be certain I have not read the entire PDF material for this unit, but just by using it for a day, disappointment is higher than expected:
1) Catalog does not contain ALL available commands (listed in ONE convenient place) 2) 'Grad' is stupidly missing for some reason?!?!? 3) conversion to/from mils is not included (angular measurement conversions????) 4) Constants appears to be short-changed and quite limited found it very easy to accidently leave a menu or submenu, touch screen is very sensitive to touch -- is there any way to control that sensitivity, or even limit areas subjected to touch (yes, he's serious) counting number of keystrokes needed to achieve a given task, comparing with other calculators, gives concern Had I been on development team, I certainly would have done things a little differently, and would have insisted on some "legacy functionality", and a nice complement of Units Conversions and Constants! *** HP Prime, IMHO is clearly a WORK IN PROGRESS. *** Will I return calculator, no, even with all of its incredible blatant shortcomings. Nice try. As anyone can clearly see who has used it to date, it is clearly a work in progress, and still must provide proper "legacy" functionality, as well as keeping up with modern standards. Now, where did I put my Sliderule? Would I recommend HP Prime to others? Not without explaining these short-comings, and why I personally feel this unit is lacking because of being left out. Average student (let alone teachers or instructors) in todays classroom would probably not care, not notice, these shortcomings. http://i.imgur.com/HGuIKGA.png |
