HP 50G or TI89: Any thoughts?

I can see how you might get used to that way of working, on modern algebraic calculators. The 50G in algebraic mode saves all your calculation inputs in a history. I believe late TI's do the same. You can just pick the expression from history and edit it. ...Course we prefer RPN mode on 50G. There many corresponding possibilities. They do need you to know in advance, though. Normally one would either input the RPN sequence in &lt;&lt; ... &gt;&gt; or the algebraic expression in ' ... ' and duplicate it on the stack or save it as a var. It can then be edited and EVAL'ed as you desire. Normally though, one would represent those values, one intend to vary, with symbolic variabel names instead, like A, B, C whatever, and store values under those variable names. The &lt;&lt; ... &gt;&gt; sequence is actually a program, btw, and will execute as you press the soft key representing the name you stored it under. The basic answer to your question is that one would store some kind of program. How exactly to do that and how to make it take parameters, is something that has many, many different possibilities. The RPN/RPL system is very flexible. The HP 50G is a superior working tool. For studies though, I think you may need to consider if it's allowed for exams? I think 50G isn't much? since it's an all-out tool. TI calculators typically are. They are adapted to different exam levels. But for your professional companion, you don't want algebraic or TI. You should get HP's most advanced model with RPN/RPL. Currently that is the 50G.

Assuming we're talking about the same Samsung 9 (TIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3G-K04US 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop; $1,799)I would go with this Asus for three reasons:1) The Samsung's i7 4500U (1.8GHz) is significantly slower than the i7 4558U processor (2.8GHz) that this Asus carries.2) The Samsung's Intel HD Graphics 4400 just can push the same graphics that the Asus' Intel Iris 5100.3) The durability and style points of the Gorilla Glass 3 solid top and pseudo-ceramic housing (which is silky smooth) of this Asus scores more points in the design and "oooooooOOO! Shiny...!" categories for me than the aluminum body of the Samsung 9.You get comparable sound out of both of these machines.Hope this helps. Cheers!

Hi, the U6439 is, about twice the price. So is the U6485900, only about $50 more, but doesn't look like its as much of a machine.

Yes. The computer meets my needs. Screen is wider than the last computer and I take advantage of the number key boards. I always buy from Hewlitt Packer HP. Very satisfied with my purchase

Sorry I can't be too much help here but I'm not much of a gamer. I mainly used this computer for more business applications. I can tell you that I tried to use it (and another HP) for my DJ business and it performed horrible with the software. I couldn't get it to work right at all, it kept skipping on songs and randomly "popping" along with other problems. I was in a pinch one night at a birthday party and ended up using my wife's 300 dollar bottom of the line Gateway computer and it performed 100% better than this HP. I used to love HP but now I cannot recommend them. Hope this helps.

As I recall the 49g calculator has a USB Serial Converter support file that is to be compiled as module and ... as a trade-off being able to transfer data between your HP 49+ Calculator and Linux. I'm not so sure about using Windows, but however, in my best opinion it should.

Note thats the hp website version. This device is listed with a different graphics card and for a different price. My point was to make sure you look around a bit.

the Dell M5030 is a terrible machine. read reviews, they all break. mine only lasted a year before the motherboard burnt out. buy HP for laptops, much better

Well, I haven't used for both as yet.But I would say, take Lenovo.. that's better anytime.. Even HP is better than this laptop. I took this because it had an SD Card Slot + a DVD Player and Windows 8 and I7 Intel Processor with 8GB RAM and 1TB of Hard Drive Memory and it was cheap at Amazon for all these features.But the handling of the computer is not smooth.. Also no touch screen.. The laptop restarts every now and then....

Hi, What is your HP model? All the HP portable printers I see look quite large..

According to HP, the Platinum editition is 6X faster than the regular one. While this might be true, it is however not worth to pay 50% more. The traditional one exceeds my expectations anyway. After all, at least for myself, an average user of this calculator would not notice the speed difference under normal circumstances. So, my suggestion would be, stick to the older one and save about $23.

look at this comparison vs small I3, not as good for high intensity games, but I have used for many business applications and is great.http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/288/Intel_Core_i3_i3-3220_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G2030.html

It demands on which HP you are comparing it to. It not as nice as my high end HP but it is pretty close.

I dont believe it is but I am not sure. The HP website is probably best to compare the two. Thanks.

I agree with the Al's comment. HP 10BII+ is really tailored for finance use only while the TI BAII+ has similar functions of a scientific calculator.
