The main thing I want to say is the 48gii has had a USB port since 2006, and as best I can tell this model doesn't suffer from the keyboard issues that plagued early production runs. Even if you do get a bad keyboard however, HP will honor its outstanding warranty policy. from Amazon.com I first purchased the HP 48GII about two years ago. The first one didn't last a month, but HP quickly gave me a new one free of charge. from Amazon.com Pros: This calculator (and presumably other HP 48/49 calculators) has an operating system that far surpasses TI's in usability. The angled keys are really nice to use, when they work. from Amazon.com at the time of writing the HP49g+ is available on amazon at $77.99. Since the 48GII is a 49g+ with features removed - why not get a 49g+ ? from Amazon.com I had high hopes of this calculator being a "real" 48G, maybe with a faster processor running an EMU, but the original case/key design and ROM. My trusty HP48GX no longer functions properly, the 3, 6, and 9 keys fail to register when pressed. from Amazon.com I bought the HP35 in the early 70's when I was a graduate student at Washington University. I currently collect HP calculators. When I bought the HP 48gII about a month ago I encounted the much talked about keyboard problem. I did what comes naturally. from Amazon.com Hughey-Pack is baaack! (Okay, tone it down a bit.) No, I really like the new 48gII, although I can't figure why they chose to ID it in the 48 series, since it clearly is a derated 49g+, itself a nice update of the original 49g. I guess 49g- didn't sound too upbeat. from Amazon.com I find this totally unacceptable, and I, like others lament the decline of quality in HP (at least in the calculator arena). But, I'm hooked on RPN and TI doesn't have it. I plan to try to return my 48gii to HP and see if they have actually fixed the problem (some reviews of the 49+ look hopeful in this regard). If you have a newer model and the keyboard works perfectly (which it should), please post here so we can once again get people buying HP calculators! from Amazon.com I just unpacked it and started messing with it.

My first reaction is "I miss my 48G". :(

I've heard bad things about the new key pad, and it definitly feels cheap.

from Amazon.com if you are a student, you should probably get the calculator recommended by your instructor. from Amazon.com
