 HP Calc Review December 30, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought a HP48S in 1993. Even though I was an extremely poor Engineering student at the time, I found it to be money well-spent. The equation solving capabilities of the HP proved to be essential in getting me through tough engineering exams. I liked the 48S so much that I recently bought the HP48GX, and it has proven to be even better than the 48S in many ways. I would recommend this calculator over any other brand on the market to an Engineering student or graduate.
Think hard before buying this calculator. September 5, 1999

I am an Engineering student in Hoboken. I recently purchased an HP48GX. I would not advise buying this calculator for simple user functions. The stack system is no good. To do simple functions like 4 * 4 + 5, so many steps have to be taken. But on the other hand I would recomend this calculator for the serious engineering student, it will get you far. Buy an HP but also buy a minor scientific calculator so that you can perform the more simple operations. Choose wiseley, the HP is not a calculator you jump into buying without trying it out.

A great calclator that can handle just about any calculation, however, the manuals are rather onerous. As an engineer, I would buy the 48G again. You must and use and like RPN!
This is one of the finest products ever created September 1, 1999

This calculator is GREAT. I was a Computer Engineering major at U of Michigan-AA. We had some dumb courses like Transistors which don't really help much in programming. We were allowed to use calculators on the test, so what I did was program my HP with RPN Basic to solve the problems for me! Got 96% on exams and finished in 15 minutes.So for $300 (at the time I bought it), I got an A in a course designed for Electrical Engineers, and made the course into an HP48 programming course! HP rocks...
The absolute best... August 30, 1999

I went through four years of college with the 48G. It never failed me. I used nearly all of the functions the folks at HP built into it for my classes. It takes a little getting used to, but once you master it, you'll be able to perform complex calculations very quickly. In addition, nobody makes a more durable calculator. I must have dropped mine a hundred times and it still works like new. If you're looking for a scientific calculator, look no further than the 48G.
