I'm new at this forum and want to ask you all for advice. I'm an engineer and own a HP48G+ since 1997, to me it's a great calculator and I use to program it from time to time. I find it sort of slow nowadays that I'm used to use mobile phones and this kind of things, so I'm thinking about buying a new calculator. I don't need it as much as I did with my old HP but I like calculators a lot.

So, here is my question, is a really good idea to buy a new one?, will I notice a big improvement in speed and programming?.

I use to buy the latest thing but I've read not very good things about the prime and I'm thinking on the 50g instead.

I'm looking forward to your comments.

Thank you.

As you are familiar with userRPL (programing The 48), used to the size of the 48 and want a faster calculator, the natural choice, IMO, is the 50g.

The 34s has keystroke programing and you may find userRPL more powerfull.

As Ray wrote above, you may consider use an emulator. I use a 34s emulator on a Ipad and it is fantastic, indeed.

Cheers

Edit: Just another opinion, I have the 50g, but I find myself using more and more the 48's (I just have bougkht a 48sx, man, what a pleasure). The design, key feel, bigger enter key, bigger font size, make the 48's a winner, but it's up to you.
