I think more than a couple of hours is needed to give a fair review of that!
Right out of the box, it doesn't do anything But that's a user problem.
I like the menuing system; seems to work nicely. I love the touch interface. Most navigation is intuitive. I won't comment much on the graphing because that's not my area of skill and I won't be using it for that, anyway. The programming side of things looks dead easy, but getting to learn the commands' parameters will take a while.
The UI isn't very 'clean'; there are lots of glitching on the screen visible when things are constantly updating... some 'tearing' when scrolling stuff, that sort of thing. It's a calculator, so one should probably make concessions for these things.
I haven't been able to get it connected to my PC yet, as I use Linux and Mac but not Windows. I've tried Windows running in VirtualBox under Linux, but the device doesn't show up in the USB list (whereas other devices do). Alas.
Rather disappointed HP ONLY supports Windows connectivity.
