The HP48s has a much nicer keyboard than the HP49g though! HP48gx may have been a suitable upgrade instead :)

- pjmlp 6y agoI used a CASIO FX-880P during university, but my dream one would be HP-48GX, unfortunately a bit too out of budget for my former self.
- xoa 6y agoWith the GX (which I got, and it still works) you could run metakernel [0], which itself was one heck of an upgrade over the base system and really an unbelievably impressive effort in its own right. It pushed the hardware so much farther it's still stunning. The HP48 remains one of my favorite calculation devices ever, with a great ratio of utility for both the most simple brainstorming calculations and going right into great depth. I'm still bummed my favorite emulator for iOS devices (m48+) stopped getting updates and faded away, and also that HP let its calculator division languish. What a tool. ---- 0: https://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/apps/mk/mk.php https://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/apps/mk/mk.php
- mtalantikite 6y agoI agree with this and definitely would tell 17 year old me to go for the 48gx instead!
