I'm not any sort of power user, just want to play around and see how it compares to my trusty HP48.
Any thoughts most welcome.

I think most HP RPN/RPL addicts will agree with me, when I say: This is not NOT an HP 50G. It totally lacks the RPN stack seen from a program.

BUT nevertheles BUY IT!

It's a very cool calculator (sorry, computer).

Programming it is very different from programming a 50G. But it's fast (very).
And if You are an RPN/RPL addict, You will soon learn how to pass arguments and return results as LISTS.

I have a 50G on top of my Prime. The 50G is second to none in being an open platform. The Prime is 'just' really cool.
