No, the CAS has no 84+ emulation. On the Clickpad the keypad isn't detachable. On the Touchpad it can be inserted but it won't connect very well and it won't work in 84+ mode since the CAS OS lacks 84+ emulation.

About the price though: Here in the US, the Nspire is still more expensive than the 84+.
Actually, they are about the same: Ti-nspire is $126.98 while TI-84+SE is $129.47. This is funny since objectively speaking Ti-nspire is more capable... but more cumbersome, too.

I guess the task #1 for TI now is to make sure next generation of school books will feature TI-Nspire prominently - then it can raise the price again (look on "list price" on the same Amazon pages... you'll be suprised).

My guess is that the Nspire prices are lower because they don't sell well. I wouldn't be surprised if there was worth to mouth stuff going on between students who see higher grade students playing games on their 83+ but almost no one playing any on their Nspire or hearing that the Nspire is much harder to use, then the next year they decided to go for the 83+ instead.

Over here for a while, a 84+SE costed more than a TI-Nspire, even if with the Nspire you had a 84+SE keypad for free.

If you want 84+ emulation, get the regular one.

When I saw the price, the 84+ was $125 and the Nspire was $136.

I wonder how does a 84+SE costs where you live? Over here right now the 84+SE is $177 and the Nspire $185 but the Nspire used to be $160 and I saw 84+SE calcs for $168 a few times.

the TI-84+ costs 122€ in "supermarket A" and 109€ in "supermarket B"....

But.... too late --' my father send the cheque for the TI-Nspire CAS. I'll just have to learn the C language..... and the ARM ASM :/

[edit]the seller bought it for school in September, but his school wants him to buy a Casio.... does this mean a TI-84 keypad is present??? [/edit]

About $135 -$140.

I see, so barely any difference with the Nspire, then. Kinda like where I live one-two years ago.

I don't recall the CAS models shipping with 84+ keypads. I believe it was just the original clickpad Nspires that shipped with the 84+ keypads. I'm not 100% sure though...

 Yep, CAS has no (built-in) 84+, but calc84 is working on an 83+ emu, as well as an 89 emu.

I thought both of those emulators were unreleased and currently on hold though? :/

Yeah they're on hold and unreleased. I wonder if he'll resume them...

The CAS had no 84+ emulation.
