HP 49G - Key Differences
from the HP 48G Series
Configuration
Larger Memory Capacity
- 1.5MB* of User Memory allows you to run and store more
user & third party system RPL programs, games and
software applications. * 512KB RAM and 1MB Flash ROM.
Flash Technology
- 2MB of Flash ROM that enables future electronic software
upgrades, eliminating the need to buy a new calculator
every time there are any software upgrades, enhancements
or improvements.
Physical Features
Leading-Edge Design
- With smoother edges, softer curves, and a sleek, sturdy
design, the HP 49G is ideal for either hand-held or
desktop use.
Who says calculators have to look dull and dreary!
- Chances are, if you are a HP 49G user, you will be using it a
lot! So why should you have to keep looking at something
that is dull and dreary! Of course, mathematics is serious
business, but it doesn't have to be boring. The HP 49G comes
in an appealing, light metallic blue with a matching
translucent blue slide-on cover that helps to minimize screen
and keyboard damage.
Tired of intimidating and confusing keyboard clutter?
- The user-friendly HP 49G keyboard incorporates the
strengths of the existing HP 48G Series RPN keyboard layout
and the more familiar algebraic style keyboard layouts on the
HP 38G, TI-83, and TI-89. Alphabet letters now appear clearly
on the keys, thus reducing keyboard clutter. Larger keys with
softer edges, and improved key spacing, minimize undesired
key presses.
Crystal Clear Contrast
- More like a computer screen, the HP 49G's new higher
contrast screen is easier-to-read.
Faster, Timely Unit-to-Unit Communication
- Exchange programs, data and games with other HP 49Gs and
HP 48G Series models quickly, by means of a unit-to-unit link
cable. No infrared, equals piece of mind for those teachers/
lecturers/professors wishing to avoid untimely communication.
Graphing Features
Expand your Plotting Possibilities
- With the HP 49G, choose between the HP 48G Series Plotting
ÔInput FormsÕ or if you prefer, plot, view and edit multiple
functions quickly and simply with the new ÔY=Õ Plot
Functions screen.

Operating Features
See more on the big screen
- Whether you are working with a large expression or program,
or multiple equations, expressions and sub-expressions, you
can minimize the need to scroll by selecting a smaller font
size. There are four font sizes (6x4, 6x6, 7x6, or 8x6) and styles
to choose from.
Customize your Inputs and Outputs
- Choose from three input modes according to your preference:
familiar textbook, traditional algebraic or efficient RPN, and
two default-screen history display modes: textbook or
algebraic. The textbook mode allows you to input and display
equations and expressions as they appear in textbooks or on
the blackboard.
Faster Navigation
- Navigating around the enhanced HP 49G User Interface is
between 10 and 100 times faster than that of the existing
HP 48G Series.
Learn from History
- Unlike the HP 48G Series stack, where only the results are
displayed, the HP 49G default-screen history also displays
and retains the how (e.g. equations, and expressions), so you
can see where you went wrong, or how you got the result.
Even after power off and on again, the history will still be
there, just the way you left it.
Fast, Flexible and Intelligent Editor
- Edit expressions, text, graphs and programs quickly and easily
just the way you want to. More than just a passive editor you
can isolate and evaluate sub-expressions as well as cut, paste,
and copy objects, just like on a computer. Unsure how to
correctly enter an equation or expression? The intelligent HP
49G editor automatically inserts missing parentheses and
syntax, both in real-time.
Math Features
Dynamic Algebra and Calculus
- With a built-in Computer Algebra System (CAS), the HP 49G
boasts truly dynamic symbolic manipulation and solving.
Working with complex equations and expressions?
No problem, the HP 49G automatically prompts you to
switch to complex mode.
Learn how to get the right answer
- Choose the step-by-step mode for dynamic derivation,
integration and linear algebra problem solving. All steps and
results are displayed in textbook mode for easy viewing and
understanding. After all, in a text or exam, the answer is only
part of the solution.
Statistical Features
Now you can use the data descriptions to make inferences
- The HP 49G goes one step further than the HP 48G Series by
allowing you to make and measure inferences about the
population of interest with hypothesis tests and confidence
intervals. Sample data input, editing, plotting and viewing has
never been easier with new create a table, and table setting options.
