Hewlett Packard 50g Graphic Calculator

Good Item, Great Seller, I will do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polish or reverse polish - take your pick. Stack processing, so you can setup all your variables at the beginning and save time computing. Graphing and expandability are unbelievable.

I is defective, will not turn on except when I posh REAET, or remove then replace battery. I think it might have been damaged in shipping, but can not see any thing broken in outside. The price was right, saved $10 compaired to others listed on e-bay. Oh well, back to my old hp41cx.

It's a very powerfull tool for my job ....
I saww others job parthne usint it and I like very much the results.
When I was young I had a 41CV calculator, very good equipment.

I'm review this item Because my paypal address is not in us and this store don't sell anything out of us.
I like the exelent service that this store give to me.

Excellent book for the savvy user. This book will help you understand some of the wonderful, curious little corners of the calculator. So much more helpful than the thin gruel from H/P. Thankfully this book has a little something for everyone from novice through expert. The author readily admits that this volume cannot plumb the depths of the capabilities of the HP 50G, as it is indeed a powerful tool. But it does cover most of the important items to help you get through very complicated programs and calculations.

RPN is the only way to go - obv!
I've been a 48g user for over a decade now... that machine died :( So I picked up the 50g, and am very impressed.
The only peeve I have is the [Enter] button should have be double size and in the same spot as the 48x's (or at least on the mid/upper left hand side) to free up the right hand for data entry.

I bought this calculator because my 48GX shot craps and for $85 this was a great price. The calculator so far has performed well. I do have a few issues with it: 1. the manual has no index and does not describe everything, unlike the 48GX manual; 2. the keys are different in the sense of the amount of pressure requirement to make sure they are pressed compared to the 48GX; 3. the key layout is significantly different; 4. the case is a magnetic clasp as opposed to the zippered case of the 48GX. I like the zipper better.

These issues are minor and will only take time to get used to, but they are issues you would most likely not know until after you purchased the item. I am hoping there is a resource online that better explains the functionality of the calculator (HP are you listening/reading?).

Otherwise, I like the calculator. It is lighter than the 48GX and I have not yet explored the connection and functionality of connecting it to a computer. Nor have I fully explored all features of the calculator, but I would not expect anything less than the 48GX.

If possible, I will update after I have explored additional features. Hope this helps in your decision!

I am graduate of the HP41CV/CX school of programmable calculators and waited for a calculator with a multi-line screen and more muscle for large programs. I thought the HP48 was it, but was disapointed that text and data operations in the 48 were too anemic for me. I wanted to have prompts (or function keys) for input and at least four lines of "labelled" outputs at a time for the results. Now, twenty-plus years after the demise of old faithful HP41, along comes the HP50g. Glad I waited.
Now let's get to the book review. Just bought an new HP50g and the documents provided leave much to be desired. I bought this guide to learn how to use the calculator. It has 110 pages and is well written for a guide that is not produced by a professional publisher. I am about one-third of the way through the book and find some of the new concepts tough to grasp. I have to read a portion two or three times before understanding it. Don't get me wrong, this calculator ain't no four-function toy. It is one son-of-a-gun to learn and this guide makes it easier. Pros: the guide organizes the information in a meaningful way (HP take note). It also explains the whats ('and whys') of the calculator pretty thoroughly. Cons: not enough examples (at least in the early sections) to illustrate the lessons being explained, and it needs a glossary of new terms for those of us new to the HP 48/49/50 calculator. Also, an index would be good. One last nit to pick: The guide is published using one-column per page. I would have preferred two columns per page. Most of us only grasp about 40 characters at a time while reading. e.g. newspapers and novels. Text lines six-plus, inches long are harder to read. Added to a difficult subject matter, I need all the help I can get.
Bottom line: Next to the guide's Table of Contents, is an aviators/sailors, Wind Triange program with prompts and annotated (labelled) outputs. My quest for the right calculator and this guide are vindicated. If you have an HP50g, get this guide and a copy of the HP49 Advanced User's Reference Manual (free online). The reference manual describes the calculator and its command set. This guide explains 'how' to use the calculator.

The right item came on time. It was not broken. I liked that I am able to return the item if it is the wrong one.

thanks for everything, this is a good product, and you have to accept an international credits cards. please when you accept an intenationals credits cards write me back

This calculator is VERY hard to learn to use and there are very limited resources telling you how to use it, but once you get the hang on it, you will be able to do advanced calculus and physics problems with ease. If you know how to use it, it can factor/unfactor equations, find definite or indefinite derivatives and calculate integrals. The SD card slot, USB port and IR port make it very easy to communicate to other calculators or computers. The leather case it comes with is very well made and protects the calculator for drops and scratches.
Overall, this is a very sturdy, powerful and otherwise incredible calculator.

I like HP products and the purchase of the HP 50g Graphic Calculator fit right into my plans. The price was right as well as the delivery. I will buy again from the seller.

Just bought it to replace my TI-89. So far i love it. I will be using it for land survey calculations.

Excelente calculadora, mejoraron mucho el aspecto, la manera de acceder a las funciones, es como una mejorada HP48GX (mi ex favoria), definitivamente una excelente adquisición.
Se podría mejorar lo referente a la programación en el manual, pero hay mucha documentación al respecto que se pueden obtener por otros medios.

It is clean and like new! I had some hesitation about buying a refurbished calculator, but all in all I have been very satisfied.

I have owned multiple HP calculators over the years. The HP 50g is what the HP 49g should have been, with a much better keyboard. The 50g is a worthy successor to the HP 48 S/SX/G/GX calculators. The 50g allows the users to switch back and both between RPN and algebraic (such as when you lend your calculator to TI user). I like the built in financial functions and the equation library that was ported from the HP 48G/GX. This is a solid scientific calculator that has greater usability, expandability (up to 2GB with an SD card!!), and processor speed than competing TI calculators. Anyone and everyone can use an HP 50g.

I saved ~30% off retail for this calculator. It was delivered a day early. The HP 50g is an awesome calculator and the seller was very professional and efficient.

Working as it should. Perfect delivering and support.Great seller selling great product. I recommend for ebay costumers.

This calculator is awesome. I’m currently in my sophomore year of college for Electrical Engineering, and this calculator has been a tremendous help. I would recommend this to any Engineering or Science major. This is a very sophisticated calculator and takes some time to get used to, but once you get a feel for it, it becomes your best friend.

I have used the 11c since high school and recently purchased the 50 g. Reading through the manual and learning all the different functions this calculator can perform. I read all the reviews and reviewed all the different comparisons with other graphing calculators available on the market - the HP is very easy to use. I really like the capability to change from algebraic to RPN. As a user of the 11c, I find this faster to process calculations and more intuitive. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I had an HP48GX for years and it finally died, so I researched and bought this to replace it. 15 years of technology advances over the 48GX show well in this product. I wish it had a color screen. Otherwise, I'm thrilled with its ease of use (lets you switch between AOS and RPN for example), and the equation library - which also lets you see the equations written out as if on paper to include use of symbols and so on... AAAAA++++++

I have no idea how to rate this calculator as I never bought one.....from ebay or elsewhere!

However, I've owned the HP 49G for several years and find it more calculator than I use now that I'm retired. N.B. This calculator (49G) was not purchased from ebay either. I've extrapolated my rating from the unit I own to the unit (50G) I never owned and never, never even bid on ebay...
thus, the average rating.
