I've owned HP calculators since the early 1970s, starting with an HP-55, then an HP-28C, followed by an HP-28S. Loved them all. The Prime is by far the best of the lot. Not only is there are large, easily readable touch screen, but the built-in functionality is amazing.I bought the HP Prime and a TI Nspire CX II CAS at the same time so I could do a hands-on comparison. They share many of the same features, but the HP is SO much easier to use and so much faster! The documentation for the HP is far superior, although its 700+ pages makes it a bit of a slog if you choose to wade through it. If you're not so inclined, there is the shorter quick-start guide, but it leave out a lot of detail. Build quality is much better on the HP; the TI seemed like a plastic toy in comparison. The tactile feedback of the buttons is clear and unmistakable.I'm an electrical engineer by training, so I've had four years of applied math at the university level. I can't think of a single problem that the HP won't handle with ease. The ability to move the screen around with your finger tips saves so much time. The ability to work in the complex number plane is a necessity for me. I also prefer RPN as an input method, and this is available only on the HPs, although this calculator will accept algebraic- and textbook-format as well - user's choice. It also has a comprehensive unit conversion database so you can do things like add inches, feet, yards, miles and light-years on a single command line and get the answer in your choice of units. Same is true for all sorts of data: mass, energy, temperature, area, volume, time, speed, acceleration, force, power, and so on. Just about every physical constant is also available with a couple of key strokes, just in case you've forgotten the value of Planck's constant and need it in a hurry.There is a comprehensive library of applications in firmware, grouped by usage: algebra, calculus, statistics, geometry, finance, sequences, parametric equations, polar coordinates, you name it. You can create your own apps and save them as well. The ability to do algebraic manipulation is a huge plus. Want to know the algebraic expression for a derivative or an integral? No problem. You could simultaneously plot a function, its derivative and its integral, making it easy to visualize system behavior. It will do 3D plots as well, allowing you to rotate the 3D space with your finger tip. I'm just blown away by the power of this gadget.The processor in this calculator is much faster than in competing products. The clock rate is nearly 500 MHz; the ROM and RAM are far larger than that found on any competitors' entries. It's the only one with a touch screen.There is also an emulator that will run in Windows or on a smart phone, in case you need all this horsepower but forgot your calculator. Same visual appearance, same functionality. If you know how to run one, you can run them all.The calculator can be put into "exam mode" that disables certain functionality, allowing it to be used on many of the college placement tests. I am long past caring about this capability, but it could be important if you're a high school student preparing for college.The price of this unit is lower than the top-of-the-line Texas Instruments calculator that is aimed at the same market. IMO, the HP is a better choice for so many reasons. I think this product is underappreciated in the marketplace. If you're looking for a calculator that will do it all, this baby is it. You won't be disappointed.Bill McGrathAE2WM

The internet search function is your friend.Lastly, we not that the HP Prime Calculator is two calculators in one. A quick startup would be to use the simpler HOME calculator arithmetic side. The other calculator is the CAS, Computer Algebra System, an algebraic, calculus, and advanced math calculator that requires more time and resources to master.With Covid-19 and the use of virtual schooling students have fallen behind. As there are two calculators in one with the HP Prime Calculator the HP Prime HOME side can be used to learn the calculator for students in Algebra and Advanced Math courses but can also be used as a bridge to help upper elementary middle school student with gaps in their arithmetic knowledge. Search Amazon and the web for resources on using the HOME HP Prime Calculator side for these younger students. Giving them a crutch to temporarily plug their gaps while preventing them from falling further behind is valuable use of the HP Prime physical Calculator.

There are many people who can write more knowledgeably about the math capabilities than I can, but the unit seems to work very well, the battery life seems good and the screen is a great improvement on the HP 50g.I've worked through quite a number of tutorials on the various parts and overall it seems well thought out.I did find some frustration with the Geometry App but that may well be due to my relative unfamiliarity with the whole 'swiping' thing that seems so prevalent today!

Muy buena calculadora, este modelo tiene 256 mb de memoria y de flash tiene 512 mb es la más reciente; viene con su cable USB A, pero no viene el cargador o adaptador de corriente a la pared; puedes comprar el original o utilizar un adaptador AC de 10 watts máximo de buena calidad, en mi caso uso uno de Apple de 10 watts pero también funcionan los adaptadores de Samsung de 10 watts. Excelente calculadora HP Prime 2 la recomiendo.

A calculadora chegou no tempo estabelecido, super embalada e funcional, a priori quando o produto chegou achei que estava com algum defeito, pois só ligava conectado na tomada e não carregava, porém contatei o vendedor, e o mesmo me atendeu super rápido e resolveu meu problema, não passou de um engano meu, pois não sabia que pra carregar o produto deveria remover a proteção da bateria, enfim ótimo produto, estou usando nos meus estudos e ela vem se mostrando bastante útil e prática em tudo aquilo que se propõe.

arrived on time in perfect conditions

Très bonne calculatrice scientifique, facile à utiliser notamment avec son écran tactile

My preferred calculator for more complex calculations. I am used to the HP50g and looked for one with at least the same functionality but faster.After rewriting my existing programs to apps. It’s my preferred calculator. In addition to the calculator I also use the app for the phone. Working at my desk I prefer the calculator. I also installed the HP calc. app on my phone in case I need one.
