I don't think HP would be making something like this.

The original calculators, from the discrete HP9100A onwards, pushed tech to its limits.

The HP65 (1975) was a jaw-dropping masterpiece. When most calculators were four function, and scientific calculators were still exotic, a pocket-sized programmable calculator with a magnetic card reader was beyond the imagination of most engineers, never mind most users.

This is more of a nostalgic tribute act. It's nice it exists. But it's looking backwards, not forwards.
