5.0 out of 5 stars TI-nSpire August 31, 2010

By Shane

I love it. It's fast, smart, and it comes with a cord to sync it to your computer. You can transfer documents onto and from the calculator. I put formulas, graphs, tables, and tons of other stuff. When I first got it, I thought, this is a huge calculator (which is true). It took me about a couple hours to learn how to calculate 2+2=4, and it took me about a day to graph. But now it does things I didn't even though a calculator could do! Even two weeks later, I'm still figuring out things it's capable of. You can save notes, graphs, and formulas. It even has a way to connect to a network (although I don't have that figured out). If you go online to [...] you can order a interchangable keypad for free. The website has guidebooks, tutorials, and if you get the calculator you can download software and the new O.S. for free.

I could ramble on and on about it (which I have done)so I'll stop here. But I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an advanced graphing calculator.

One last thing.I got the normal TI-nSpire, not the CAS one. I don't know a lot about the CAS but I do know that you cannot get the free keypad online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Texas Instruments Ti-nspire Calculator September 14, 2010

By Matthew P.

After growing up with the Ti-84 Plus in school (from 9th grade to today), I wanted to get a simular graphing calculator of my own. After a recommendation from my AP Physics teacher I decided to get the Ti-nspire. The Ti-nspire graphing calculator is probly one of the best, if not the most versitile calculators on the market. Like the Ti-84, the Ti-nspire can graph functions, preform basic calculations, and can be used with third party instruments (such as barometers, temperature, g-meters, etc.), but what seperates the Ti-nspire from the Ti-84 is that the Ti-nspire acts more like a modern home computer where as the Ti-84 is more like DOS in the sense that almost everything is preformed by key command. As a high school student in his senior year that has used the Ti-84 to its furthest extent, I can say that the Ti-nspire is everything the Ti-84 is, but better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Calculator July 26, 2010

By M. N.

I got this calculator a couple of days ago with the rechargeable battery (You should get it if you buy this, the $15 dollars will save money in the long run). The calculator turns on quick. Has great features. The touchpad is like a computer trackpad. You just move your finger and it moves the mouse.

It comes with many built in documents that teach you how to use the calculator. They're helpful if this is your first T.I. Nspire (This is my second).

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because you have to go to T.I.'s website to get your FREE T.I. 84 keypad and wait for them to ship it to you. Mine still is has not arrived.

*Make sure to buy the rechargeable battery.
*Go to [...]

Have fun with your calculator!
