HP Prime G2 Graphing Calculator,Black

The good. The HP Prime G2 is an exceptionally good calculator with more capability than I will even need. It supports both infix and postfix (RPN), however the postfix is limited as to where it is available, infix is available everywhere, there's also the algebraic CAS mode. The calculator performance is excellent and so is the touch screen. The rechargeable battery is replacable so when it finally wears out replacement will be possible. Two cables are supplied, one for USB pc to calculator connection and a second for calculator to calculator connection. In PC mode you can screen capture the calculator's with the free HP software. You can also download the PC calculator emulator and the 600 plus page manual as a PDF. Overall battery life is acceptable but you'll definitely want to carry a standard USB charger with you. The keys are excellent and those familiar with previous older HP calculators will not be disappointed. The not so good. The packaging, it's a heavy duty seam-welded blisterpack made from thick industrial strength plastic. It's an absolute nightmare to open. Even once you open it, the calculator is almost impossible to remove from the packaging. Be sure to take your time to avoid damaging the calculator. One minor niggle is the sliding cover is difficult to remove. The viewing angle of the screen is not as good as it could be but it's OK. Be aware. The battery life is OK but the screen does tend to eat power. Updating the calculators operating system should only be done with a fully charged battery and I found the update to be unintuitive. No official HP charger is supplied so use a decent quality USB charging adaptor, avoid the cheap ones to minimise any risk of damaging the device. I would suggest one from a decent brand mobile phone, not a £5 bargain basement one from a no-name company. Over all it's not cheap but it's worth the money.

This is the best graphing calculator out there. Especially when considering the price. I manged to get it for £115 which is around £30 cheaper than the overrated TI Nspires. It's speed is unparalleled. It's hardware specifications are second to none. The build quality, oh my goodness, is absolutely solid unlike the Nspires whose buttons individually rattle for example. In response to Alexander's recent post questioning the Prime G2's graphing capability. Bottom line she is wrong. The calculator will plot the function she used as an example correctly, but you just need to present the equation in a slightly different way. Instead of plotting y=x^(2/3), plot y= 3rd root (x^2) and the graph is presented exactly as expected. Just don't have fractional exponents. The programming is very intuitive and when used with the HP connectivity kit (free download from HP) it is very easy to use. I frequently also use the free virtual version of this calculator to test things out before I transfer it to the calculator itself. The touchscreen I thought was a bit gimmicky at first but since using it, it has become second nature. I would hate going back to a non touchscreen calculator now. So happy with this purchase which replaced my trusty TI-85 from 1996. The leap forward in capability from that to this is astonishing. The ONLY reason not to get this is because exams do not allow it. But having said that, double check if the exam mode on this is sufficient to be allowed to use it as it can disable the CAS functionality.

Great Calculator but don’t buy it if your only Laptop is a Mac. HP regretfully doesn’t support using its HP Connectivity Kit with iOS. (Used to update and manage the Calculator) An excellent calculator, in my opinion, let down by HP Corporate. They seem to ignore the fact that it appears that the majority of College/Uni/Senior High School students use Apple Laptops. - You need to borrow or use a Windows Machine to manage the Calculator

De nombreuses fonctionnalités comme une partie de la concurrence. En revanche, au niveau rapidité de calcul, elle est incomparable avec le reste de l'offre. Un effort particulier a été fait sur l'ergonomie avec notamment l'aide en ligne. Le seul défaut assez surprenant est la très mauvaise visibilité des caractères oranges sur le clavier, pourquoi ne pas avoir opté pour du rouge par exemple.

Perfeita.
