Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Powerful Calculator at an affordable price. Big upgrade from my HP 39. 2008-07-17
Comment: This HP50G is by far the best Graphing calculator in the market as of now. It is fast, and capable of doing many things, yet it can be complicated to use for the average student. I'm still learning how to use the thing as I am currently writing this review. If you do not mind putting hours into learning the manual yourself then this product is for you. Some might be scared because of their classes and Instructors only uses TI models, but don't be scared. Once you've mastered how to use it you'll be the one in the classroom with the competitive edge from the rest. For those that are first time buyers for calculators I may have to suggest getting the Casio 9860G model for its easier learning curve. The Casio 9860G is just as good as the TI model and also has a moderately faster Computer Processor.

Summary: Great value with a great deal of potential 2008-07-17
Comment: This calculator is a value. Documentation on how to interface this calculator to the home computer could be improved. However, documentation for an versital tool of a machine like this is a challenge.

Summary: Fantastic Machine! 2008-07-15
Comment: I bought the 50G after using the 49G+ for several years. I love this machine. There are many great reviews here o n technical matters so I would like to give some more subjective impressions.

1. The look and feel. Thank God HP has begun to return to a Classic look and feel for its products! ( I prefer "Classic" over the more fashionable "Retro"). This calculator looks like a professional machine and NOT A TOY!!!! Pink plastic covers may be great for 5th graders but not for professionals. Also the contrast of lettering on the keys is important for users with poorer vision (me!). I can barely even read the key options on the Ti89 Titanium. These same comments also apply to the new 35S and 10BII calcs just introduced (which I also bought). From what I can see ditto for the 40GS!
2. Ditto for the leather case - again just a professional touch!
3. There is more math capabilities on this machine than I will ever use and I use a lot of math in my teaching. I feel I got WAY MORE than my money's worth.
4, Please HP, PLEASE go back to providing a full printed manual!!! This trend of only providing manuals in pdf format is a terrible decision. Even if the printed manual is sold as a separate purchase that would be better than having to use a computer to access it. Note: The 35S which USED to come with a manual doesn't anymore but one can supposedly be ordered for free by calling 1-800 HP-INVENT! In rhe 70s one of the great things that distinguished HP were the superior manuals they provided! I miss that!
5. The performance of this calculator is phenomenal! It is quite faster in graphing for instance than the Ti89 Titanium. Just compare plotting sin(x) for example
6. The connectivity software sucks. You basically have to manually install the usb drivers, but once I did that it works. Also no way to capture screens on Mac. The Ti-Connect software works perfectly right out of the box.
7. Out of the box mine had ROM 2.8 which has a broken LINSOLVE function. I bought a SD card and reader and it was simple to upgrade the ROM. This should have been fixed by now!
8. I was so impressed I bought another one for my wife who is helping me with my classes. She is a calculator novice but we are making great headway ( working on getting a BlackSholes calc programmed)
9. The hypothesis testing module and the financial module are very well laid out as is the Numerical Solver which I use daily to provide sample problems for my class. Once I set up the equations generating various problem scenarios is a cinch!
10. While this is not a computer bases CAS, it has almost all the math functions the average undergraduate (and most professionals) will need. While perhaps not suited for a grad student in physics for example, it is perfect for most biology and biochemistry majors who may not be doing much math beyond elementary diff eq!

For around $150 this is a perfect calculator for the serious science student and blows away the Ti-84+/89 series in terms of sheer computing power. And best of all it doesn't look like a toy!

Cheers
Harry

Summary: Terrible... 2008-07-09
Comment: Ridiculously difficult to use. I bought it to use RPN, and 3D graphing, which it does, but for everything else it is a waste. Unless you know someone who knows how to use it and can show you how, don't buy it. The manual is inadequate, the online .pdf is 900 pages and still doesn't tell you how to do simple things, like solve a linear system of equations. Buy a TI-89.

Summary: HP 50g 2008-07-06
Comment: Excellent engineering calculator. My HP 48SX just gave out and I had to replace it. Like any calculator, still getting used to where all the buttons are located, but the layout and design seems cleaner. The leather case that comes with it seems rather chunky, but the calculator fits in the old case.
