Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The HP 50G graphing calculator incorporates a host of innovative features, including an easy-to-use Computer Algebra System (CAS) with three viewing options, a choice of data entry logics (Algebraic,RPN and Textbook) and a large high contrast dynamic screen. Users also benefit from the large 512KB of user memory and an SD card slot for further data storage and transfer. Connectivity comes in the shape of a USB port for linking to a PC (the cable and software are included), and a wireless link to other units via its IRDA port.
The HP50G is HP's most powerful calculator and is suitable for professionals and students alike, engineered for performance - easy to use CAS boosts student comprehension with dynamic equation solving. Maths and science students are able to develop key learning skills and understand complex concepts, thanks to symbolic, numeric and graphing views.
There is an extensive equation and aplet library with over 300 built in scientific equations and engineering constants. The aplet library lets you explore different classes of mathematical operations such as functions, inference, parametric, polar, sequence and statistics. One powerful aplet is HP Solve, which makes it easy to find an unknown variable without having to re-enter an equation. 3D graphing allows you to calculate advanced expressions and view solutions in a 2 or 3D graphical representation.
The new HP 50g Graphing Calculator provides the best in power, flexibility and connectivity for maths, science, engineering professionals and college students and comes complete with a premium case.

I am an engineer for 15 years, and decided to upgrade my old HP48G that I have since my BSc. This calculator is the exact replica, but with updated connectivity (USB connection) instead of 9 pin cable.
HP could not have improved the calculator functionality as it was perfect already, so they gave it more RAM and memory.
Perfect!
What can I say, I paid 100 dollars for my HP48 in 1993 (for a calculator that still works as quick and precise as when I bought it)!
The only reason to buy the latest model is to have USB and more memory, well done HP!

This calculator is the perfect companion for those with a scientific mind.
You can calculate or evaluate a function for whatever comes to your mind.
However, you need to embrace this calculator, i.e. use it every day. If you don't you will definetely need the users guide, even for simple calculations, and if not handy, you will just stare helpless at the keyboard.
So it is complex machine, but as a scientist you are of course prepared to give it all the loving care and attention it requires.
The only negative point for me is the display: the resolution is rather poor and you have to look perpendicular to the display, which is difficult when the calculator is on your desk.
You have also to know that with a memory card inserted, when switched-on, the display remains blank for 3 sec.
But even with these 2 annoyances, I give the machine 5 stars.

The HP 50g is very well made, and more calculator than most people will ever need. Anyone who is acquainted with Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) will appreciate the benefits to be had from using this mode on the calculator (why it hasn't become universal beggars belief). If you don't know RPN, this calculator will talk the more usual lingo.
With the earlier HP 49g+, HP supplied a User's Guide, an Advanced Reference Manual, plus a Pocket Guide - all printed and all very useful. With this calculator, they provide a printed User Guide and a more complete guide on CDROM in PDF format. Neither document is as good as the previous versions, and some instructions are confusing (with plenty of typos in the printed manual). I found the communications software on the CDROM would not work at all and had to download the latest version from the internet.
Fear not. I'd still thoroughly recommend this product but would advise downloading the HP 49g+ manual from HP's web site to fill in the gaps (there are several extremely useful keyboard shortcuts listed in that manual that go completely unmentioned in any of the HP 50g documentation). I'd also advise checking out the HP forum for this calculator as there are some very knowledgeable users out there with answers to just about all your questions, if they haven't been covered already by previous answers.
Get it. Love it.

perfect
the ultimate scientific calculator, just a lil difficult to be fully used, once u learn to use it (not easy, complete manual 800+ pages) it's perfect.
