Are they still in production? Is there actually any market for these calculators? (I was an TI 91 and 48GX user in the until 2002)

HP does still make some calculators, but there's also SwissMicros who are making their own clones of them. https://www.swissmicros.com/ https://www.swissmicros.com/

> Are they still in production? The last official production run was the 15c Limited Edition (ARM7-based, similar to the refreshed 12c around the time) a little over a decade ago. This variant was special enough that it shipped with a CD containing the official PC emulator. I managed to swoop two of them back then while a broke ass uni student (sold out quick). Ended up reselling one just to make ends meet before graduating, but kept the other just in case my 35s went tits up; I still use that 35s regularly at the office, but CalcTastic[1] makes a very compelling replacement mobile app. > Is there actually any market for these calculators? Who are we kidding? Between engineering and finance types, RPN diehards are a dying breed IMHO. Even if a new RPN calculator were to get NCEES approval[2] for use in the FE/PE exams, in practice, very good RPN apps on mobile abound after formalities are out of the way.

There is also a DIY emulator on ATMEGA328 microcontroller: https://paxer.net/voyager/ https://paxer.net/voyager/
