Pros: ultimate geek device, expandable, programmable, IR and serial port, can get you a date Cons: Many find it hard to use and confusing; much more calculator than many actually need
Ah. My HP 48GX. I still love this calculator. It's smiling at me as I write this epinion. I got my HP 48GX about 7 years ago. At the time, I was a poor student frustrated with my TI-82. It didn't do stuff I needed it to do! I outgrew it way too...
Pros: functionality, capability, durability Cons: Complicated, difficult to learn
The HP 48GX (expandable) and 48G calculators are powerhouses that can handle the nastiest engineering problems that I have come across. I have been using this series of calculators for 8 years. I started with the 48S paying about $180. My heat transfer...
Pros: Powerful, does calculus Cons: Difficult to use
When I took AP Calculus BC in high school, we were issued a set of HP 48G calculators. They were pretty nice calculators that could do a whole lot of the functions we needed in calculus, but they are so difficult to use. Everyone in the class...
Pros: Immensely powerful, rugged, dependable, portable Cons: A bit of a learning curve is involved.
I've been using HP calculators since I was a young mump in High School. My first calculator ever was an HP32E. For a while I was confused by how the calculator worked, which is common enough when people encounter their first RPN (reverse polish...
Pros: Once learned, the best you can get. Cons: Learning curve, price?
I've wrote a few reviews over products, but I must say that the HP 48GX is one of the best purchases I've made. I'm sure that you've probably read some other reviews and know by now that this is not the easiest calculator to learn, but it is well worth...
It was five years ago that I needed a graphic/programmable calculator for my classes in Chemical Engineering. Having seen classmates using the HP 48G in the library, and knowing that HP manufactures quality products that last for decades, I finally...
Pros: Very versatile, can do anything Cons: reverse polish notation does turn some people off
I first got my HP 48G (identical to the 48GX except with less memory) when I was a senior in high school. HP evidently was willing to give our entire school a group discount on a bunch of 48G's and GX's.
Pros: able to solve complicated equations Cons: expensive, not easy to remember its build-in function
HP is of course an expert in developing advanced instrumentation, it is especially known for its fancy graphic calculator. But for users, especially those non-tech savvy ones, graphic calculator's build-in functions are sometimes overwhelming.
Okay, I'll be honest. I never owned an HP 48G+. However, I did own the HP 48G, the main difference being that my machine only had 32 K RAM. (I say did own because I recently sold it on ebay.)
Pros: Great scientific calc., good display. Cons: DIFFICULT to program all but simplest functions, inability to expand.
I finally retired my aging, worn-out HP-41CV calculator for a newer, flashier, more powerful HP-48GX. I needed a calc to use for an upcoming engineering certification test, so I figured it was a good investment.
Pros: Quick to use, Lots of memory Cons: Adjusting to RPN, Too many extra features
The HP48G calculator is a standard for engineers. I bought mine 7 years ago, and it is still front of the line. The Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) takes a few days to get used to but after that it is much quicker to use and far more convenient -...
Pros: Function Library, cheaper than ever, most powerful calculator Cons: slower
Okey... If you are interested in going into the scientific field and are looking for a graphic calculator, look no further. Just go to the store and pick up the HP 48GX. Don't even think about getting the 49G. There are reasons for that...
Pros: The best engineering tool that fits into your pocket Cons: I hear the screens used in the HP's are not as robust as the TI's
The HP 48G is the greatest thing to happen for engineers since the first pocket calculators replaced slide rules. I got mine for Christmas my sophomore year of college and I really wanted to start all over because of the huge benefit I would it to be. I...
Pros: Many features Cons: Expansion slot problems, very difficult to use
Bill’s Review of the HP 48G+
Well gang, it has been about two weeks after the unfortunate demise of my HP-38g graphing calculator… it died instantly after falling off my holdster and being run over by a car. God rest its unbelievably...
