So bump.. Can this be fixed? I was using our "search" feature up until recently and it is quite useful.

Programming on the computer does, indeed, bother me. An oncalc program editor or even a simple text editor combined with a compiler would be the absolute LEAST I would require. Maybe some days I would write down an idea and then type it up on the computer, but I really prefer oncalc programming. The two long posts about the calculators were extremely helpful. I already know a lot about the Ti8x series, and have 4 members. A Ti82 of mine is hiding in my brother's room.

So the nSpire has some nice UI tricks that I can pick up to make MATH significantly easier, and unless I get serious about programming, those things are best left to the experts, whereas the Casio Prizm is great for the whole oncalc programming thing.
68k calculators will never enter my home unless I have every other kind of calculator out there. I do not, I repeat DO NOT, care about them. They are just underdocumented and nobody likes them for programming.

To respond: The 68k calcs have fallen out of favor, but then again TI isn't really been advertising or promoting them for some time. The french community has also always been more active with the 68k series it seems. They have been around forever though, so I'd imagine they are quite thoroughly documented.

Axe isn't native! It requires to have it on calc, or even requires some shell of some kind, unless you compile fo noshell (which is the way to go unless speed or memory is a main concern.). But I see that variables work the same way on the CX CAS as they do in Axe. HELPFUL! What is the maximum size integer and most precise number that you can work with on each calculator?
I'm getting a lot of feedback from a lot of people!!

It's true that Axe isn't built in. You only need it on calc to compile the source though. As far as exection of programs go Axe and Asm are exactly the same. They can either be nostub, compiled for a shell, or an app.

In response to your original question:

The Prizm and the CAS version of the Nspire aren't really comparable. If you were to compare the Prizm to anything, it'd have to be the normal Nspire CX or a TI-84+/ TI-84+ CSE.

Concerning on calc programming:

-The Nspire has Nspire BASIC which from what I understand is ok for math, but next to useless for much else. I think there is a third party editor for LUA, but TI has not provided one. On the PC side, you can do C or ARM ASM.

-The Prizm has Prizm BASIC, and some drawing commands are quite slow unfortunately. You have a Prizm version of Lua, but I can't remember if it has an on calc editor or not. On the pc again you have C and Assembly.

-The 84+ CSE has BASIC. Most commands that display things have been shown to be slow. (Output for example)On the PC side you have ASM. At this point it is unknown if and when Axe will be ported. I wouldn't be surprised to see some other languages popping up, but time will tell.

Honestly the classic Z80 series has the highest programmablity on  calc. You have BASIC, ASM, Axe, grammer, and batlib. For BASIC you also have the Celtic III/Xlib to add additional functionality.

As far as specs go, as others have mentioned the Nspire wins. It has the fastest processor and the most storage space. It also has a decent color display at 320x240 resolution.

The Prizm has a decent processor, but only 16 MB memory. It has a very high color display resolution though at 396×224.

The TI-84+ CSE comes in last with only 3MB memory. It has a 320x240 pretty color display, but only a 15Mhz Z80 backing it up.

Although the Nspire is constantly being upgraded and having Ndless(which allows C and ASM programs to be executed) blocked, I'd say it's probably the best choice of the batch, as long as you don't mind programming on computer. If you are set on programming on calc, I'd stick with the classic Z80 series right now. It's the most supported and has tons of options. 68k is an options as well. Honestly it has an extremly powerful form of BASIC built in that allows manipulation of pictures among other things. There is also Newprog which can be done oncalc. On the PC side you have 68k ASM and C yet again.

I don't really do much regarding math, so I can't really weigh in there. That's about all I have to add.

Oh, and since I haven't said it yet, welcome to Omnimaga!

Very nice!

So, basically you're still using the full 320 horizontal resolution(with interlacing I mean), you're just updating half of it at once.

Quite the necropost there.

Wow, what store is that? That looks awesome! *Edit* that should put up a hazzard sign for falling xboxes.. Those things were  ginormous, and super heavy!
