TI-Nspire CAS Clickpad Question?
« on: May 08, 2011, 06:27:27 pm »
Alright I've been looking at the Nspire Clickpad and I have a question.

The Non-CAS is $159  :o

The CAS is $63  :w00t:

Does the CAS have less features then the Non-CAS?

If not, why doesn't it cost as much as the Non-CAS?

As far as I know, CAS's, mathwise, can do everything a nonCAS can and more.  Programming wise, it's more limited.  However this doesn't explain why it's cheaper, since most of them don't care about programming...

So the CAS would be a bad choice?

If you want to be Ndless compatible, probably.

I'm not concerned about Ndless.

All I'm concerned about is some simple programming and to play games and try and run programs.

well, Both Nspire's programming is crippled with no input or getkey.  So none of the games will be very good except ASM ones ones which are only playable trough Ndless.

No input? At all? No INPUT? So that makes even math programs impossible to create!

I still want one.

you can create functions, so you set up the arguments, but definitely no really good games

Like I asked on IRC, is the MLC available for this version of Nspire?

The Nspire CAS OS doesn't have the (incomplete) TI-84+ emulator provided by the non-CAS OS - but it has a CAS :)

Ndless supports the non-CAS OS and the CAS OS equally well.

Also note that the CX non-CAS version doesn't have the 84+ emu.

So I will be considering this CAS version. Thanks for everyone's help! And if Ndless is compatible with the CAS that's awesome

Why not just get the regular and load CAs on it if you need it. They have OSLauncher and a tutorial on how to do it.

I'm thinking about doing thta to mine so I can do some of the math it lets me do.

Why not get a CAS (which is cheaper) and run the 84+ emu on it using OSLauncher?
