Notes:	The HP 48 series of calculators preserves the wonderful look of HP’s calculator heritage. Different buttons but the same sturdy feel. Despite the many functions I think the keyboard looks really balanced. Accented function keys at the top. A beautiful machine to look at. The HP 48G is part of a series of HP 48 calculators. Wikipedia lists (link validated 2024-01-13) the following family members: HP 48G (this one) HP 48S HP 48SX HP 48GX HP 48G+ These calculators have everything one might need. One might wonder how such a calculator could ever be succeeded. In fact this calculator has so many functions that it will be hard to produce a TL;DR, I won’t even try. A Quick Guide manual of the HP48G and the HP48GX’s User Guide can be downloaded here from hp.com. The HP 48G has 32 kB of on-board RAM. This calculator has one of the clearest and most readable keyboards I’ve ever seen on such a complex device. It’s beautiful. Much better battery life than the HP 49G.
