Some CX questions
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:33:26 pm »
I was all w00t when I saw you could buy a CX now: link yay

I have a few questions, numbered so I can easily match up q's and a's:

1. Can the CX do percents?
2. Does it use a computer-like UI, just like the the standard Nspire?
3. Does it have a computer mouse, like older Nspires?
4. How much storage and RAM is available to use?
5. What can we program on it?
6. Can it do 3D graphing?
7. How many colors are available?
8. How many can we use in programming?
9. How fast and powerful is it?
10. How long does the rechargeable battery last?
11. The battery is built-in, right?
12. Can we charge it through the computer?
13. How accurate is the touchpad?
14. Can you type on it?
15. Why are there so few buttons? Are all of the functions accessible through menus?
16. Any sound capabilities?
17. What ports does it have? What link capabilities does it have?

Thanks in advance!  ;D

2yeah interface is almost identical i think

6yes its awesome
7its 16bit
8only15bit with programming
9its pretty good just locked up
10the rechargeable battery has problems(at least in regular)
11you can use 4 AAA's or a rechargeable battery(sold seperately)
12no it has to be plugged in to an outlet
13 its pretty accurate in my experience
14 theres a keyboard
15Everything is hidden in menus
16 not yet since no ndless
17calc-to-calc wireless and calc-to-comp

I hope this is helpful

Yes, very helpful. Thank you.

I know there's a keyboard, what I meant by question 14 was can I type as in a text editor? I know in the older Nspires you could type in a text editor

Theres an ndless text editor but other than that you only have the notes TI document type to type in

That's enough. All I want to do is type in stuff in my calc and save it. TI notes program will come in handy.

Hm, so I type stuff in the TI notes program, which saves it in a TNS. TI notes can't open this file, so I can't edit it on-calc. I can only view it again on comp. Right?

once you save it you can edit it oncalc fine. you can view and edit it on comp its just some extra work to get it into a common file that others use like txt, doc, or odt

Ok, thanks for the help everyone! ;D It really helped!

(And I'm glad the notes program can write, save, and open and edit! It will come in handy)
