Hi
I have a 48GX for a couple of years now and want to switch to a 50G. I came accustomed to the quality "feel" (keystroke pressing) of the 48. How does the 50G key pressing feel vs the 48?
Regards

The detents on the 50G aren't quite as firm as on the 48G, but they're not bad (I understand they are a great improvement over early 49 series keys).

The key travel length is about twice as long. This means it doesn't feel as sharp or defined. 50G is still great though. TW

Thanx guys. I'm starting my calculus studies again and it seemed that the 50G can do more in that area than the 48. I stay in South-Africa and the price difference is huge. I will end up paying equal to $222 for my 50G. I don't want to buy such an expensive calculator to find I bought an inferior (low quality) product. Again, Thanx for all the info. Regards

The force was strong with this one. I couldn't help myself. I lusted after this calculator for two solid weeks! Drove this weekend to my local HP shop and bought it. What a piece of machine it is! Thanks for all the input. I love the feel of it. Quality looks "cheaper" than the 48, but it feels solid and works like a charm. Strangely enough I love the feel of the key strokes. Regards

I must ask, why do you feel the need to use a calculator in your studies of calculus? This question is really only valid if you are referring to the basic undergraduate courses. Just a thought, and good luck! ECL

It helps me to understand the concepts better. I use it as a learning tool. |
