HP Prime Graphing Calculator Unboxing 

Who cares what it comes in. If you can't cut a clamshell open, you need to rethink your life choices. It takes about 3 second with a knife or scissors.

Its good for safety. The old packages were easy to steal so my old stationary shop kept losing them because people could easily open them. They would lock the packages down ofc but the unsecure packaging was a nightmare.

@@littlejackalo5326 I did rethink mine after I cut my wrist. Don't be me. Now people are asking why I tried to kill myself.

no matter what it's price and what it can do. It is still a calculator😅

@@littlejackalo5326 You don't need to scramble to your kitchen for scissors to open a cardboard box. For cutting tape just use the nearest sharp object or finger nails.

ikr

My 48SX from 1991 had 2 books with a total of 800 pages :), good times....

Ti 83s came with like the 2 inch manual and a users guide another inch or course

whatever you used last really. Unless ur brave

from my observations (I have the app for my phone and laptop, not the actual calculator) no, you can't turn off touchscreen or control the backlight. Seems to be readable, some claim the actual calc can be seen in direct sunlight

Battery life is great (notice no lifespan difference between this and the TI N-spire). I got mine one ebay with no battery for cheap. It uses an old Samsung (Galaxy 4?) phone battery. As jack002tuber stated, Cannot turn off touch function or control backlight as far as I am aware. Interestingly enough, I believe the screen is installed upside down in the HP crime. Poor viewing angles when the calculator is in front of you, flat on the desk. Turn the calculator upside down and you are able to see the screen very clearly. Someone at HP dropped the ball here. Still my favorite calculator.

It becomes obsolete

Someone will probably sell them as "HP Prime" batteries, but it'll be more expensive

No. The hp prime has a lot of bugs, mine die after just 3 weeks.

Probably this one in the scheme of things that is able to do, that you can program for it, and it's processing power compared to the other offering

@@salmiakki5638 I have a couple of HP Prime and of TI NSpire CAT2 too, the TI is a little slower but the apps are well integrated. The HP has a touch sensitive screen, but no heyboard, it has some bugs but the TI too. Actually the two calculators are good, the problem is to learn how to use them (the manuals do 500 pages for the TI and 600 for the HP..).

@@MBJanus I have a ti nspire cas2-t aswell. But to me it's not anywhere close to the Casio. It's slower, both in software and hardware wise. And it's seems that is build with a different audience in mind. It more of a easing tool for lazy middle or high schooler than a tool someone doing engineering could benefit from. Things are not flexible, and both the default feature set and th programming capabilities are more limited. The lack of touch screen, the disgusting keyboard feel, and the hideous alphabetical keyboard (even tho the HP prime lacks one, have to admit) makes it not a purchase I would suggest. P.s. could you give me one ho your primes? Since I used a friend's one I really want one :P

SwissMicros DM42 maybe?

No, it will not cause a problem. 2100mAh will actually let your calculator last a bit longer between charges. What you need to pay attention to is the output voltage. The output voltage of the replacement should be the same as the original battery, which should be written on the battery itself.

Thanks!

Probably late, but I prefer the HP primarily for the touch screen functionality.

What have you bought. I have to chose between TI CX II CAS and HP PRIME G2

Hp prime g2

Also a phone app. you can TYPE on the app, letters and chars you can't do easily with the calc

Boris 259$ plus 54 more for 3 year guaranteed :)

just bought one here in Norway for 50euro, but that was 60% off.

nortrap WHAT?????!!!

Used on amazon, about $100 US

It's between $120 and 150 now.

Little Baguette what do you mean running fornite?

I can't tell if you're being serious or joking. Please be kind enough to confirm. I'm genuinely curious 🙂

He must be Einstein

In what ways do you believe the TI is better? -I have the TI N-spire CX and the HP Crime. I do believe the menu system can be more intuitive to use on the TI, and the screen on the HP is upside down... That being said, I haven't touched the TI since getting the HP.
