    It's an amazing calculator at that size. One of my all-time favorites. The BASIC language it has is one of the best Casio has ever put in calc, mostly because of the "prompt"?A syntax that allows you to enter a value for A while using a custom prompt and showing the existing value which you can accept by pressing EXE without typing in any new value. That's an amazing feature that so many other calculators, even better ones, don't have it. And the Z array and the stat arrays can be used to do so much stuff. Check UCF for programs for it. The lackluster complex calculations are a big negative for sure though. And the hinge has broken on my first one. I replaced it with another and use the first one as a backup device for the programs. Nowadays I just carry an HP-12C with me though. Coding for it is even more fun (and hard) than the Casios and I found myself needing financial calculations more often than trigonometric ones lately. 😊

    Thanks for the interesting video. I got my 33s in 2003 as my first RPN calculator and was mocked about it a lot by older colleagues who used previous models. (Yes, we were all engineers) So I got the 35s when it came out, simply because it looked so much better. Having had both calculators on my desk, I always used the fancy 35s when I felt posh and continued using the 33s whenever I actually had to calculate something. The arrangement of the keys makes so much more sense on the 33s. E.g., if you didn't know anything about calculators, where would you search for the enter-key? I certainly on the bottom right, not on the left somewhere in the middle. So the 35s has been sitting with empty batteries in my drawer for years, while I am still using the 33s all the time. While it's an eyesore and I do have several improvement ideas, it's still the best calculator ever made. At least for me...

Same thing for functions like (4/x)+1 they work with nDeriv. Do you know why and if those are common errors for the stats?

    Nice video. Could you make a video showing how to transfer libraries from Windows PC or Macbook to the HP48GX?. I have the HP48GX, HP49G, HP50 and the newest HP Prime. I can upload programs on all of them except the HP48GX. I have the original cable and I have tried to use the Connx4 program for windows PC but this program do not recongnize the port COM from my computer, therefore, the software select “Auto” mode in order to transfer the files to the calculator but doesn’t work at all. Thank you in advance for your help .

    Was annoying having to import the fx-CP400 and fx-5800p. Good thing parts are interchangeable between CP400 and CG500. I like it more than my fx-CG50 but I like the fx-9750GIII better than either but the fx-115ES PLUS is a more practical size and I am now really far off from this things capabilities.

  • @walterpaez2752

    I think they are excellent, very powerful calculators. The bad thing is that the interfaces are very bad and not very intuitive on the HP 48g and HP 50g. In that sense, the Casio were much better, although they were not as powerful at the calculation level. The great motivation of the HP Prime is its interface, but its great shortcoming is that it does not have the equation library.

    My first programmable calculator was TI-48 which had keyboard bounce problem and due to this I was able to return it and upgrade it to TI-58C which never had this hardware problem. Later I got TI-59 and Printer and these also never had any hardware problems. Finally, I sold it to buy an HP 41CV. Nevertheless, I learned programming on TI programmable calculators in 1977.

    Dear @Calculator Culture, I have ordered a DM42n and am strongly considering purchasing the DM41X if anything, because it comes with the HP Application pacs built into it and as a handy back-up. As a long-time HP-41CV then CX user from the early-80s, I pined over the memory limitations of the 41C series calculators. Can you please confirm that loading a Module is as easy as selecting option #4 ("Load Modules") at the 12:54 minute mark of your video? Many thanks.

    • @CalculatorCulture
      @CalculatorCulture 26 днів тому

      Yes it is, assuming the module is already on the DM41X. The DM41X comes with a bunch of popular modules already in the device. For others you will to download them from hpcalc.org and load them onto the calculator via the USB link. It’s all fairly straightforward though.

    HP 48sx was the chemist calculator! This was the calculator of the early 90's. The Achilles heel is after 25+ years. It has the same issue like many HP calculators, the ribbon starts to fail. another failure is the way it's put together, very hard to take apart, very unfortunate. And with all these faults, it is probably one of the most enduring calculators and probably the last great HP calculator that was made. For anything that HP does today, it's nothing compared to what it was before..
