Calculator blog - Jose Gonzalez Divasson - 03-23-2011 Before creating a calculator blog, I looked in Google for others. I only found this one: http://aha-hp-calcs.blogspot.com/ Do you know about others? I finally created mine: It does not reach the mathematical heights of this forum - but at the end (if we're honest to ourselves) it is about the hardware...
(disclaimer: it is in a shop, but you can still read the blog for free!)
Re: Calculator blog - Nigel J Dowrick - 03-24-2011 An interesting blog (and shop!). There are some exciting teasers in the blog. I'm fascinated by the new HP calculators, one of which Quote:and one which Quote:I don't suppose that you'd like to give any further clues? Perhaps your comment at the end of the "HP-50g vs HP-15c" article is a hint? Anyway, I shall be looking at your blog regularly to see what else appears! Nigel (UK)
Re: Calculator blog - Jim Yohe - 03-24-2011 I wonder if you're suggesting that Jose's blog is hinting of a new scientific calculator the size of a 15c but with the capabilities of the 50g? ;-)
It would be nice if more clues were released for us to feed on.
Re: Calculator blog - Jose Gonzalez Divasson - 03-24-2011 Hi, Jim, Nigel, I have very few details on the "big runner" of the 2 calculators. I have some more info on the 10.000 uds. model, but I still don't have a protoype in my hands to give an informed opinion. The blog just shows my personal preferences (with my limited knowledge). I do think that the HP 50g is a substantial improvement over the HP48g family in screen, speed, and software. Not better in keyboard quality, but not bad either. I do think as well that the colour scheme is better than on the 48g/gx (not than 48sx). As for the 15c, it is a little lovely calculator. It does everything I need on a daily basis, and I can program it with my eyes closed. I like the HP42s and I can admit that is a better overall calculator, but I don't "love" it.
Yesterday I had a nice surprise with the 30b. Good all-rounder for business, and good keyboard. Extremely fast. There is future!
Re: Calculator blog - hpnut - 03-25-2011 I have two 30b, on one of them, the "9" key feels mushy. :-(
Re: Calculator blog - Crawl - 03-25-2011 I do agree with you that the graphing + scientific calculator combo can work quite well.
Re: Calculator blog - Mark Harman - 03-25-2011 If it feels mushy or problematic, contact HP for warranty service. Regards,
Mark
