Should I get a nspire?
« on: January 06, 2012, 11:19:16 pm »
So I have seen a lot of cool stuff come out for nspires, and I am quite interested! Could someone share with me the pro-s and con-s of buying one and of the calcs themselves!? :)
Specifically a nspire cx

 thanks!

Pros:
You'll have access to the most powerful graphing calculator on the market (prizm is weaker hw, original nspire holds less than cx)
You'll have a color GB emulator
You'll be able to make color calc games on the go

Cons:
More expensive than any other calc on the market (aside from V200s maybe, not sure)
Ndless 3 isn't out yet, so you'll have to wait
You won't get to use any Prizm games n stuff
You have to have a touchpad
You won't have access to any keypad-related hacks (although the dock will still be there)

Amazon has some nice deals. Do you care about it being CAS? That raises the price a bit, but there's no longer a reason to not want one outside of standardized tests since they removed 84+ support.
