Your sum ran from 5:10 to 5:23, that's 13 seconds for the Numworks. On the HP-50g, I did the same sum and started also at 5:10; it finished at 6:54, that's 104 secs. On the HP Prime, the answer came back in about one second, so really fast. And that was on a G1 Prime. Probably in a blink on the G2.
I ran the same calculation and it went from 5:10 to 5:17 after updating the software on their website. We can probably assume differences in time, so for the sake of argument we'll say it took 8 seconds instead of 7. Still pretty fast.
On my HP PrimeG2 it was instant. I did a comparison to my Casio fx-991ex and it took a whole 4 minutes to complete. While my Casio fx-9860gII took 55 seconds. Granted fx-991ex is a cheap calculator while fx-9860gII is a bit old in the tooth.
there's no comparison, the HP prime has CAS and way much more functions and features. Numworks removed the CAS and closed the system so you can not install a custom OS. So now Numworks calc is even more limited than the TI-84 or Casio FX-CG50.
Great presentation and review. You didn't talk about the unique feature of this calculator tho. It is OPEN Hardware and OPEN source software, meaning you can basically do whatever you want with it, as long as you know what you're doing. ;) ps : don't take it bad but you should clean your nails for the video.
not anymore, it sucks major balls now. theres Phi + Omega but... nobody likes workarounds. just extra steps to add back functionality that was ORIGINALLY there... Numworks went back on their statements and its now closed and distribution of modified source is illegal.
It looks like great product. Nice features and color palette. But, Prime is out for delivery today. :) If I wasnt engineering, Id likely consider this for sure. I need the backlight, as my eyes are aging.
@@BBC600 I doubt that it's approved for licensure tests. You should check. I prefer the TI-36X for exams and the TI-84 CE for homework, since they're similar enough that I get practice for exams.
@@Raison_d-etre Oh that makes sense... I'm not going into the field so it didn't come to mind that the reason OP said they wouldn't consider it for engineering was due to it probably not being approved by the regulators.
HP Prime is the fastest calculator on the planet right now. Everything lags behind HP Prime. But the user interface and color scheme of Numworks look better.
Hi, to me it's time to use cell phones that included a keypad... it looks like have a product of the big apple with more unnecsesary and many, many touches for a simple calculation. Maybe because I'm older and all my student and Profesional life as Engneer, I always used all models of CASIO and Texas Instruments. The device looks pretty nice, but I won't change it for my all TI-83 or TI -84. Learn a new way to use all that number of menus and sub menus doesn't worth it, just in my opinion right? Other way it looks very well for Basic or High School students. Another way, it's a great and informative video. I didn't know that brand.
I did his example sum from 1 to 10,000 on HP Prime G2, and it was essentially instantaneous, I would say less than 1/10 of a second, so 130 times faster,

@@SirMo I thought so. Thanks for posting. If only the Prime operated more like the 50g. Darnit.
The hp 50g was the best calculator ever!
Interestingly, in the UK the HP Prime G2's price has dropped to a price close to the Numworks.

Is it possible to create a function in python and call it from the calculation menu like you would call built in functions like sine or log ?
no
How would it compare to the ti nspire cas 2 and the hp prime g2 calculators? Which one would you recommend getting?
TI Nspire CAS and HP Prime are much more powerful. This calculator is more commensurate with the TI 83
@@jesuisravi More in line with the Ti-84 Plus CE actually. But yes, it doesn’t compare to the Nspire or Prime.

@@Xander4096probably because of some laws in portugal that didn't permit open source calculators
Very interesting design.
I will buy the HP Prime for Precalculus l, ll, Calculus too.

Is this calculator bad for engineering?

@@Raison_d-etre Numworks are approved for tests/exams. Their website mentions ACT, SAT, PA, IB, GCSE and a lot of European exam standards.
But can it runndoom with raytracing?
It was (kinda) hacked to run doom. No raytracing tho.
Great review. My friend just got one of these so I'll show him this video.
Urgent question: Can it solve 2 + 2 = 5?
Ok
+1 for that question. Also looking for a calculator that can solve abstract algebra questions.
4 (mod 3) ≡ 5 (mod 4)
Yes, for very large values of 2.
@@MrWaalkman You're torturing logic to fit a conclusion. Don't get in a habit of doing that.
Is this calculator lagging behind the HP Prime? I had high hopes due to it allowing python
HP Prime is the fastest calculator on the planet right now. Everything lags behind HP Prime. But the user interface and color scheme of Numworks look better.
Yeah that sum benchmark was instant on my HP Prime (2nd gen). Quite fast.
ur isea on hp please
You can get numworks on mobile
You can play Nes games on it
Just get it nspire
What? No RPN?
It's possible to get RPN on it, but you'll need to flash Omega: getomega.dev
You can have anything you want on it, the software is OPENSOURCE!

Can you compare this to the HP prime?
Are you more interested in speed/performance or features?
Math Class Calculator Both to be honest. But when I asked the question I had speed in mind. But now you asked this, I want know about both.
I did his example sum from 1 to 10,000 on HP Prime G2, and it was essentially instantaneous, I would say less than 1/10 of a second, so 130 times faster,
Sticking with my TI Nspire CX II CAS thank you very much...😂
