RE: Dream machine 2017?
"Is the display OK?"

For a dream machine, the Prime display is not big enough - it should be at least VGA rather than quarter-VGA resolution (and preferably HD, even if only on emulators rather than the real hardware).
I did manage to squeeze in a periodic table on the existing display, but it was a squeeze.

i would love to see a Raspberry Pi with HDMI, 1GB RAM, 32 GB SD card, a choice of programming languages, free Mathematica...and a HP Prime emulation, packaged up with a touchscreen into a calculator-sized gadget. Right now, all that's missing is the Prime emulation and a bit of packaging.

Expected Cost? retail costs might be
35 raspi
65 touchscreen (cheaper ones exist)
45 case/battery pack?
15 hp prime emulator
160 Total
