Strange. It seems to me that this author stumbled across an HP Prime and/or it's software emulations by chance and wrote his text without doing the slightest additional research. Since the Prime appeared on the market in 2013, companies like Ti, Casio and Sharp (and maybe others too) have released several new scientific calculators. Which means that the HP Prime may be everything, but certainly not "The last scientific calculator".

I had the same feeling, I had to convince myself that the article was not written in 2013. Maybe he considers that the other calculators are less scientific than educational?
