HP makes calculators still, actually. Can't say I have any love for their printers but the HP Prime blows any TI equivalent out of the water, easily the best calculator I've ever used.

FYI HP also stopped making those. You can still buy HP calculators, but they happen to be licensed to third parties who carry on with new products of their own design under the same brand. At least in the case of the prime, Moravia managed to pull out a new firmware update since the transition, so there's that.

Ah, interesting to know. I have a 15C and always wanted a 48g but haven't needed a calculator in a long time. I'm glad that HP is still making good calculators. Maybe I should pick one up.

Thanks for the correction and the information!
