AUG. 2025 SAD NEWS: College Board bans the HP Prime on SAT tests! (Still AP Exam approved.)
==================
This 4K video shows the HP Prime Graphing Calculator purchased new in July 2018 with darker blue and orange print on the keys as compared to the first generation Prime. Also shown are soft case and screen protector accessories, and how to apply the screen protector. Vintage HP calculators are also shown, including the HP28S, HP48GX (with 128k FRAM Card), and 50g, side-by-side with the Prime. General operation of the Prime is shown, as well as the Home versus CAS buttons. Finally, the video shows how to connect to a computer via USB and use the HP Connectivity Kit on a Macintosh to download and install new firmware, as well as apps and programs.

———( MAKING OF THIS VIDEO )———
This video was shot almost entirely using natural light entering from windows. Camera used was a Panasonic GH5 mounted on a tripod, with Olympus 12-100mm F4 lens, using the HLG profile and the Leeming HLG v5.02 LUT to convert from Rec.2020 to Rec.709, edited in FCPX 10.4.3 on a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" with dGPU. Music used is from YouTube (no-attribution required).

———( SAFARI & 4K )———
If you use a Mac and Safari you'll find that Google & Apple lock your resolution to 1080p, forcing you to use Chrome to see my video in 4K. If you are like me and want to see 4K YouTube videos in Safari, please join me in sending Apple feedback here:
