So HP calculators have been … well not frequent. And from the perspective of a casual calculator user HP might as well not exist. If you wanna buy a new useful scientific calculator it’s TI or Casio and maybe sharp. However with the recent announcement that there would be a collectors edition re-release of the HP 15c it looks like the new owners of the HP calculator brand do care! Well at least a bit. So what do you think they will do next? Do you believe HP still has a great calculator in them? What would be your dream HP calculator?

    I really like the RPN input of the HP calculators. My HP48SX has died, but I have a HP35s, and the Swiss Micros DM32 & DM42.

    I saw a video on youtube recently about how various algebraic input calculators handle PEDMAS/PEJDMAS order of operations:

    On an RPN calculator, this is all moot, since RPN is unambiguous and the calculator simply executes the operators in the order you enter them.
