Can't be sure as this is not a real photo, and as some TI-Nspire CAS prototypes are identic to production models (although they're quite "rare").

I'd say it's not a prototype.

Nonetheless it's an amazing deal in comparison to retail prices.

Which may mean it has something really wrong with it ;)

I can't imagine why they'd sell a regular nspire-cas for that price. They'd have to be losing money on it

Obviously, it's a trap.

With the nspire cas cx being available any day now, the non-cx models are relatively worthless so this is probably just a attempt to clear out the old stock.

Or worse, BOTH! ...How would that work. I'm still unsure why the value got this low already.

I've gotten an email from TI saying the CX's are available

Quote from: this is a review from Amazon
We ordered the TI_Nsprie CAS and were sent the TI_Nspire CAS+. Not at all the same caluclator, does not look like the picture, and does not perform in the same way as calculator we wanted.

As you can see, someone ordered this product, the exact one you were talking about, and they got a CAS+ (prototype), not a standard real one.
