HP Prime or HP 50g

[DrD]

I have both, and I seem to prefer the hp Prime. I like the display and ease of programming on the Prime, more so than the 50g. There is much confusion on either machine, for me, but I seem to dig out and get going more easily on the Prime.

I like the emulator for the Prime better than the 50g emulator, mainly in that it is easier to navigate.

One thing that is missing from the Prime is connectivity to the outside world. If you work with external hardware, this is an unfortunate shortcoming.

Documentation is weak, and and there are errors. Some say there are plans to update things, and others say to limit your expectations. I purchased a Prime a few months ago, so I'd have to say I'm right in the middle of that mess.

For what it's worth, I will keep the Prime close at hand, and the 50g is now in the closet, next to several of it's elder siblings.
