HP Prime or HP 50g

[Francois Lanciault]

I am an engineer and work in the space industry.

Until 3 months ago I was using the HP-50G, now I keep the HP-Prime at work.

Both calculators do a good job at every day engineering tasks. The RPN emulation on the prime is fine. Lets face it, most of the time, calculations involve basic operations and trigonometric functions. But recently I had to find the taylor series of a complex transfer function. I switched the Prime in CAS mode and a few keystrokes later, I had my answer.

I agree the the 50G is better for unit conversion, but the prime is 100X faster and with better graphics!

Your choice.
