Back here because of the CE.

I agree with the case design, and the improvements made seem promising and I might eventually get one of my own. However, the arrow keys look less ergonomic. And given the similar cost to the 84+(C)SE, the processor should be z80 or perhaps eZ80 or 68k; using ARM would justify a much higher price.

Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

The nspire uses an ARM and it costs about the same as an 84+. And when people buy a calculator, they usually just look for the type number they need for school. If a teacher tells his students to get an 84+ calculator and the 84+CE is a lot more expensive than the other calculators of that series, everyone would simply get a cheaper one of the same series instead, like the 84+CSE or the normal 84+.
