HP Prime Battery consumption analysis

[ebswift]

Nice analysis, and from the comments it seems we can keep our calculators running for years to come as long as they physically hold together. These are exciting times, I think technology is about to take another turn soon and we won't be making last-ditch efforts to keep our Primes alive aside from keeping them as collectables after they finally start to run down.

If HP's own "The Machine" comes to fruition, I'd imagine their calculators among other things will drastically change. I have emulators etc., but it's hard to beat a dedicated tactile interface (and we can't use emulators for exams). Let's hope that now XCAS is HP's calculator platform we'll see our devices supported for some time yet regardless of what comes next in hardware. The Prime has so much more potential, I have high hopes for professionals (broadly speaking) singing its praises before long.
