I Have been using an HP48GX for a long time and while it still works just
fine, I have been wondering if I should upgrade to the 50G. Does anyone know
what the functional differences between these calculators are (other than
speed/screen size/key locations & external ports)?

Thanks for your help,
Ed

Have you checked www.hpcalc.org .
I'm sure there is a side-by-side comparison.

I'd only upgrade if you need the additional features
of the 50g, like CAS and/or long integers, or the speed.

If you don't need to upgrade, I'd suggest taking a look
at SpeedUI, the software turbo for the HP-48 G series calcs.

Believe me, you never saw your old HP-48 responding that fast!

I have checked www.hpcalc.org but I didn't find a clear comparison between
these calculators. Anyone else know where I can find a clear comparison?

Thanks

I have not seen a direct comparison of the 48GX and the 50g. You might
want to try looking for comparisons of the 48gx and the 49g. 50g is
just the 49g thats a bit faster and has buttons more like the 48
series. Much faster (and drains more batteries too).

Nothing you can't do with the 48gx that you can do with the 50g
(maybe). Metakernel and Erable will give you the added functionality.
Only difference is the 50g is WAY faster. (I used to have a 48g+ and
it was quite slow IMO)

The screen is bigger too and black and white which is rare on 48GX,
mine has the much more common blue screen. If you find a black and
white take it...
