I've never seen a good HP product in my entire life. Really makes me wonder why people still buy it.

They stopped making them in the 90s and early 2000s when they quit making calculators. They made the absolute best RPN calculators that have ever been made, but shut down their calculator division. I prefer RPN, but I guess TI has a stranglehold on the market selling calculators without innovation for years and years. Ah well.

HP makes calculators still, actually. Can't say I have any love for their printers but the HP Prime blows any TI equivalent out of the water, easily the best calculator I've ever used.

Ah, interesting to know. I have a 15C and always wanted a 48g but haven't needed a calculator in a long time. I'm glad that HP is still making good calculators. Maybe I should pick one up.

Thanks for the correction and the information!
