It's inflation user. (((TI))) has to make their money too...
Jordan Howard
I told you to buy one while they were still cheap.
They've been discontinued since 2015 and they're the last HP Saturn platform calculators that will ever be made.
Even the HP Prime series can't hold a candle to the 49 series.
Thomas Phillips
>tfw bought one just in time
Robert Jones
Whats worse about the prime other than it being 130 bucks?
Jose Phillips
It's 65 now should I still get one to replace my nspire in engineering school?
Sebastian Barnes
Designed for EDUCASHUN and not engineering.
There's even a test mode to disable all the fancy features along with a blinker at the top to tell your proctor that your TEST MODE is still on.
Ethan Price
I'm in university, that's education.
The 50g can't even really do triple integral calculation well while the prime would ace it. Why should I pick 50g?
Charles Gutierrez
Rig up an LED with a coin cell battery in the case so they can see the pretty light. Then cheat your ass off.
Julian Baker
How does TI make more money from this?
Owen Powell
Universities aren't about education
They are primarily about exploring new ideas
Leo Powell
It's $65. What was the price before?
Jordan Young
$50

>not the Casio fx-9860GII
Lucas Garcia
But muh rpn.
50g is cheaper too, why do I choose this?
Henry Brooks
>Casio
>ever
Even the TI babbies are better than you.

>Just went up in price on Amazon.
Amazon prices are cyclical, they'll come back down in a few weeks
Robert Hughes
they're also discontinued
Caleb Sanders
Do you think it will keep increasing then
Aaron Perry
I wouldn't doubt it. Check out 15C and 16C prices
Hunter Nelson
Eventually yes.
I don't know when tho.
For all we know, they might have a whole warehouse full of hp50g's and they sell at a rate of 3 a month.
When they do finally sell out, they will skyrocket in price, easily more than $150, just like the hp 48 and hp 49 series on ebay.
Jordan Johnson
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 750 DOLLARS
This could be good however
Evan Bailey
I wonder who could be behind this...
Luke Ward
Whats wrong with Casio calculators?
Gavin Fisher
no rpn
no keystroke programming
no programmability at all
they're not even manufactured by casio anymore
Jordan Price
Clearly a display is not enough, you need a good keyboard and case too. Also these calcs run small batteries for years. Otherwise it's a good project idea though and it could be clearly really powerful.
Charles Wright
How is the price of calculators justified ? It's the same design and software as 30 years ago. A smartphone is cheaper than this.
What the fuck.
Gabriel Evans
having physical buttons is nice
also, you can buy a decent calculator for $8, it'll last you a long time and never run out of batteries.
Cooper Morris
>It's the same design and software as 30 years ago
That's a TI thing, not an every brand thing.
Jeremiah Price
to be fair, the last substantial update to the calculator in the OP was in 1990.
Everything since then has been a cosmetic upgrade.
Camden Wood
>some retard lost their TI-89 Titanium when I was a freshman
>still using it to this day
based free calculator
Connor Butler
That's blatantly false. SD cards and USB ports definitely weren't a thing in 1990.
Kayden Rodriguez
>microSD storage
>ARM9 core
The only thing stopping this running Linux is the 512KiB RAM, right?
Ian Hernandez
the interface hasn't changed at all
Colton Campbell
It doesn't need to be 100% different, point is it's not the same calculator for the same price from 20 years ago like the bullshit TI pulls
Jaxon Thompson
I just use a TI-86 on an emulator on my phone.
