1) Electronics CE HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) by Hewlett Packard. I upgraded from the HP48G and while the functionality, speed and everything else has improved I feel as though the ergonomics were left out of the picture. This is going to sound strange but I typically used the 48G w/ one hand and my left thumb doing everything. In college on exams I would write with the right and calc with the left. I do the same at work. The 48G had the batteries placed in the lower portion giving a nice balance to it in one hand. The 50 has 4 batteries under the display, so it makes it very top heavy and out of balance. In addition they moved the enter key to the bottom right corner and it used to be in the middle left...there was a reason for that HP! All in all a great calculator but I wished they´d considered more carefully the reasons why the 48 series had the layout it did.¤

2) Electronics CE HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) by Hewlett Packard. Very dandy calculator. Very quick (much faster than a 48). Keys have a very nice feel (maybe not the EXACT one that HP fanatics have in mind, but good feel none-the-less). It does everything. Integrals, etc. At the end I still preferred a ti-92 for all my math classes. But for number crunching I preferred an old&trusty HP-48 (but that´s because I´m so used to the layout that when I pick up 50g I press the wrong keys). There are some things about this calculator that feel like it´s a hack on top of the 48g operating system. Keys are not marked with functions. For example, hitting the right arrow, swaps the x-y registers (in RPN mode) - YET the key is not marked as such (a very important RPN function). Hitting the down-key opens a viewer to look at the element in the lowest register - again UNMARKED...

It´s a good calculator, it´s just very quirky; and if you truly need that complexity, you will love this calculator. Unfortunately, most people will probably be overwhelmed by it.¤

3) Electronics CE HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) by Hewlett Packard. The HP 50G is a considerable improvement over the 49G+, mostly due to the improvements made to the keyboard. It is noticeably faster with the new ARM processor which replaced the old Saturn´s. The current documentation is also quite detailed (1000+ pages). Overall, it´s a perfect tool, within this price range, for all science-oriented majors. Recommended without reservation. (Reviewed by the actual user of the calculator: Duru Can Celasun).¤

4) Electronics CE HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) by Hewlett Packard. OK, i buy this calc for a friend who is Civil Engineer, and he said me that it´s the best gift he was received, and said me too that this calc is extraordinary.¤

5) Electronics CE HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) by Hewlett Packard. Overall this calculator fits my needs, it´s a little complicated but after using it for a while you get use to it, the manual doesn´t give you too much help¤
