I'm using a HP48G. [0]

It's just a joy to use and i also like it a lot design wise.

I like that it has a big display for 4 RPN rows, but i admit that that's something software calculators would even be better at.

It definitely has a nostalgic/romantic side to it for me.

Oh and for every day stuff, i really like to use Spotlight on macOS. It's really convenient: Command+Space, then just type the expression into the search box.

Does the Spotlight calculator still expect you to respect the locale and ignores decimal points as if they don't exist, if you enter them not locale-compliant?

10 years ago I tried to add 640.9 + 2.73 on a German-locale Mac (Germany uses "," as the decimal separator), and it gave me 6682 as the answer...
