The HP 48/49/50 series is more of a competitor to the TI89.
The HP50G is a fairly extensive ARM based computer not a calculator. It is ridiculously powerful. It is discontinued now in favour of something pretty and shiny but vastly inferior.

Fortunately, TI haven't lost their minds yet. They still sell a version of the TI-89. I am hoping that line does last. Otherwise, they'll be basically abandoning a market to whoever will have to pop up to serve it.
- qz2 6y agoYep. The NSpire is an awful pile of shit. I had one for a month. I’ve taken to stock piling HP48GX’s when they turn up on ebay.
- snvzz 6y agoIf you're into stockpiling them, it wouldn't hurt to get a TI-89/92+/voyage200 while at it, and see the best the other relevant calculator maker has to offer ;) I've had hp50g for a long time, got a ti-89 recently and became enlightened.
