The HP-prime, which is I think the latest version of the HP line is also very good and supports both RPN mode and algaebraic mode (apart from a symbolic mode). There are also android, mac, and pc emulators available (and the pc version works under wine on Linux) My only plaint is that I wish it had a qwerty keyboard, but then it would make it ineligible for AP exams. I never figured out why AP explicitly disallows calculators based on the keyboard configuration!

Does the "HP-Prime" have good keys? After the HP48 series, the keys on HP graphing calculators have been garbage.

  Well it's worse than the hp48gx, and a bit better than the 49/50 models (well anything post 48gx).

  I haven't used the others, so I can't compare. But I like the keys on the prime - they're hard rubber and make a satisfying click, and don't wiggle too much. Apparently the Prime-G1 had a contrast issue that affects visibility of the letters on the keys, but they fixed it in the Prime-G2.

It's sad but I heard HP already sold off the support and development of HP Prime to another company. There are still bugs to be fixed, but next firmware update may never come. It's my favorite calculator. It's sad to see it's (likely to be) the last calculator that HP produces.
