Title: The Edsel of HP calculators
Product review: I've been a big fan of HP calculators after buying a 48SX about ten years ago. I've been using that one ever since. However, when I got a new job doing some statistical analysis about two years ago, I decided to treat myself by buying the latest version, the HP 49G.I was sadly disappointed. Even though the processor was much faster than my previous calculator, the GUI made using it much slower. Also, this was the first calculator I ever had which would actually CRASH. That's right, it CRASHES. There's a tiny reset button on the back you can press with a pushpin when this happens. This is completely unacceptable for a calculator.After about a week of using it, I sold it on an on-line auction site and bought the HP 48G in its place. I have both it and my 10-year old 48SX now, keeping one at work and the other at home. HP makes great calculators, EXCEPT for this model. Do yourself a favor and buy the 48G instead.
