Overview

The HP F2229AA#ABA 12c Financial Calculator launched in 2007, is the successor the the 49G+ graphic calculator.

This is the latest model in the HP 49 series of graphic calculators and features quite a few changes over the 49G+ mostly in terms of external appearance and ergonomics and a few in terms of functionality, memory and connectivity.

Features

Although the 49G+ was a fully featured graphic calculator, one of the biggest problems that plagued it was the keyboard. The keys did not have that reassuring tactile feedback that was there in earlier HP calculators.

The 50G has solved the problem to quite an extent with a keyboard that is firm and responsive.

The 9 lines by 33 characters (131 *80 pixels) LCD screen with adjustable contrast offers 30% more display than the earlier 49G+. It can clearly display 3D-graphs, 2D & 3D plots and other graphing functions in-built into the calculator.

As is the case with all calculators in the 49 series, this calculator fully supports RPN. It also supports textbook and algebraic modes of input. Most advanced users will agree that RPN may take a little while to get used to, but it pays in the long run. If you are a beginner than you can always use the algebraic or textbook modes, although practicing RPN is highly recommended.

This is a powerful calculator that supports over 2300 hundred different functions for statistical, algebra, probability and financial calculations. It also includes an equation library that was a feature removed in some of the models in the 49 series.

The calculator provides 2.5 MB of memory (512 MB RAM and 2 MB ROM).

Summary

This calculator has a dark black color with keys in orange,red and white. The keyboard is vastly improved over that of the 49g+. Some users have observed that there are very few differences between the 49G+ and the 50G. They feel that the 50G is what the 49G+ should have been.

The manuals that is supplied with the box, leaves much to be desired. It would be nice to see HP improving upon the documentation, but thankfully there are a number of tutorials, documents and applications that are available online.

Summarizing we can say that the 50G is a powerful calculator with a lot of storage space. It features connectivity based on a serial port, USB and an IrDA port. Most of the issues that had plagued the 49G+ have been removed. The SD card that can be used to store applications or can be emulated as ROM is a great touch.

Overview

The HP 49G Graphing Calculator Graphic Calculator is brought to you by Hewlett-Packard (HP) a major technology corporation based in the US.

This is a powerful calculator that is RPN capable and supports over 2300 hundred different functions for statistical, algebra, probability and financial calculations.

Features

The calculator has a 131 x 64 pixel, high-contrast screen that is sufficient for the inbuilt 3D-Graphing and 2D & 3D plotting . The power of this calculator can be judged by the facts that it is fully functional, supports RPN and has a whopping 1.5MB of memory available to the user.

The extra memory goes a long way in being able to run third party applications, games and software.

It also supports textbook and algebraic modes of input. However most advanced users will agree that RPN may take a little while to get used to, but it pays in the long run. If you are a beginner than you can always use the algebraic or textbook modes, although practicing RPN is highly recommended.

The 49G supports assembly, HP-Basic and RPN based programming languages to extend its functionality even further. It has the popular Computer Algebra System that has been a feature on other HP models. This feature allows the user to perform complex symbolic algebraic manipulations on the calculator in a step-by-step mode.

Some of the features that were available in other HP models and that have been dropped from the 49G are the equations library and infra-red connectivity.

Summary

This is a fully featured calculator meant for professional users and students of engineering, computer science and math. There are a number of users who swear by this calculator and almost the same who don't like it. Love it or hate it, you cant ignore the 49G.

Its sleek design light blue metallic finish is bound to attract attention and is a significant deviation from the conservative styling of HP.

The two major issues with this calculator are the quality of the keys and the documentation. The rubbery keys lack the tactile and confident feel of earlier HP models. The keys are not durable with a number of users complaining of keys coming off or or missing keystrokes. The documentation is not very comprehensive and as a result the product is not very usable, out of the box.

Is it possible to have it all--brains, beauty, and brawn? Hewlett-Packard certainly thinks so, and its HP 49G graphing calculator is its shining example. There's no getting around the cool styling of the 49G: complete with a sleek metallic blue exterior and a groovy translucent blue hard slide cover, the 49G commands attention. When we were using it in public, it received plenty of looks and inquiries. But how does it measure up in terms of power?
