I guarantee you will learn maths quicker and easier than the nSpire. There are a few functions unique to the nSpire, but my bet is anyone who needs that extra functionality would be in a position to add a quick program or function of their own to do it anyway.įor students, get yourself a T89 which has CAS. Few people need the extra speed of the nSpire over the nice-to-useness of the 83/4 or 89. The TI-83/84 and TI-89 are preferable machines to this, especially the TI-89 which has great CAS. I'm thinking of Casio or Sharp next time unless TI sort out the basics.
#AMAZON TI NSPIRE SOFTWARE#
Thumbs up for the inclusion of student software which is basically an emulator for your PC, although it also includes pairing software so you can start work on your calculator, and carry on on the PC, and vice versa.Ĭome on TI, fire the senior person who made the decision on the keypad ( not the engineers ), get your act together before you lose your reputation. The functionality of this machine is exceptional but is let down by the keypad both mechanically, and in soft functionality.
It took me very little time to be able to fly through the menus on the TI-83, and find special characters on the Voyage200, but I am finding it hard to quickly find certain items on the nSpire *unless I use them frequently*. My version of the keypad is red on black, and is of very poor contrast.Įqually bad is that the key clicks are like old TI wedgy 1980's-style hard-click keys which are (a) uncomfortable, and, (b) not as easy to use as fast as other quality keypads such as almost any other calculator on the market, including the TI-83, TI-84,TI-89/Voyage 200, any Casio, any Sharp calculators, even if you get past the unintuitive lay-out.
