Soo it might be safe to say that a z80 might cost $5 at max?
A z-80 costs 20 cents at max :P

SOmething I just saw that I like a lot: See attachment below, which shows the calc fonts zoomed in. Notice how they look very close to the standard small TI fonts? To me, it seems like that calc might be trying in some ways to not break graphical compatibility too much. And if the image quality happens to be poor and the fonts are actually pixelated IRL, then that's even better.

I hope to see more info and if possible some tests.

The good thing is that according to calc84maniac, the guy said Asm commands were still present in the CATALOG.
Why did it die? D:
And i wonder if there will be a non-silver edition of the 84+c

EDIT: Nvm got confused with Cooliojazz file editor project. Anyway OTcalc died because it could only progress during Summer due to school work.
I stated this earlier. It became apparent that the there is just one character that differs from the standard small font which is the N. Assuming that the font is scaled up twice the resolution is about 320 x 240pixels which is the same as the nspire.

No since this will probably have an internal battery and the screen area is different. The main black part is made up out of 3 sections whereas the original 84+SE has 2 main parts

So they will be producing different enclosures. However TI recycled old hardware in the past, so it might be possible.

Why are they even calling this a ti84+? Because otherwise teachers will ban it from exams?

Ah I see what you mean. Still it's 3 pixels wide plus one empty space in between chars. That's just obvious. The scale determines what the resolution is. Yes it might be a different font. That means that they might rewrite the GUI entirely.

That's definitely not the same font. Just look at the N.
That's just windows scaling it big time. The shape of the other letters match.

Edited. It might be the same size as the nspire. The picture is not very clear. If the font it just 8 pixels wide then it's nspire size.
The thin graph lines might just be image compression.

Judging from the analyzation I can conclude that they used the standard 83+ font. My guess is that it's scaled up 3 times. With that given we can calculate the resolution which is estimated at:
normal char width=4pixels
times 3
times 39 char that fit on the screen here
4*39*3= approximately 468 pixels wide

Now: if the aspect ratio of the image is correct we can easily estimate the height wich is about 355 pixels

From a programmers perspective I would say that the resolution is approximately:
480*320

Edit: it might just be a font twice as big. then the res is most likely the same as an nspire

Read the other posts. It's probably a nspire in disguise.

I'll try to determine the resolution using photoshop

So "physics" is perfomed 4 times before the screen is updated.
This also applies to computer programs. Thus, your argument is invalid :3
Uhu, but the refresh rate is about 60-90Hz

Are these gonna be cheaper than regular nspires? If so: we might be able to hack it into a regular nspire for less money!

Any chance of an NES emulator on this thing?

A bigger resolution screen would be nice. 96*64 is just too small for games. Give us at least 240*128
