Ti's chart said cas isn't used for algebra, despite cas actually being computer algebra system (or something like that) :P

I got non-cas to be safe since I have algebra 2 next year

The CAS of Nspire calcs is hardly more powerful than that of TI-68k calcs (nowadays, the 89T), and there are many more games and math programs for the TI-68k series than for the Nspire series.
I'd say, it depends on whether you need a calculator for the short term (in which case you can get a used 89T for way less than $100, and still enjoy math programs and a number of games), or a calculator for the long term, with lots of storage space (but much less programmable in the short term, and probably in the long term as well, because TI's philosophy has unfortunately changed a lot).

I'd pretty much have to agree with Lionel. The 68k calcs. are a nice cheaper alternative if you are interested in a CAS. They also have more programs available as mentioned above. ;)

even though the basic stinks outside of math and science programs, lua is prety good and i guess its getting better with the next OS update.

this one's quite difficult.. nspire is really nice, and the graphical possibilities are good, but it's not cheap, i bought mine for €125 (which is still quite cheap as i hear the other prices)

but if you want to combine the color, the good screen, and a lot of (coming) programs, you should do it

i definately agree with nick, also it similar to using a computer, you have the shortcuts too like Ctrl+c and Ctrl + v
and programs are definately comming, not saying there arent quite a few already :)
ive use an 89t and i definately wouldnt abandon my CX CAS over it

The 89 probably has a good CAS and a cheaper price. It has more programs and better support. If it's more math, I would go for the 89. I hate my Nspire for math. The buttons are in such weird positions! I dislike the touchpad and the bad button springs. I stick to the 84 with math, but for a CAS you could get a 89.

Programming on the Nspire is another story. I love Lua. Ndless will soon be coming out (hopefully), so C will be available. The GBC emulator for Nspire will be very nice for gaming!

I would probably get a Nspire just for the gaming, as my parents do not approve me carrying around gameboys and DSs.
