Here is what people are saying about the Texas Instruments TI-NSpire Math and Science Graphing Calculator
 "Needs work" | 2009-10-11 |

My trust TI-84 was lost the other day and I needed a graphing calculator for Calculus (I'll be going through about 4 semesters of Calc). Since TI was showing the Nspire as the secessor to the TI84 I figured I'd take the plunge and see if it did the job better. Big mistake. Instead of going into a rant I'll be fair and show what TI did right and what they did wrong.
The good...
- Large higher res screen.
- You can display multipul things on the screen at once.
- Comes with a TI-84 keyboard that literally turns it into a TI-84. Useful for tests that don't allow the nspire and if your instructor is using the 84.
- WYSIWYG, basically you don't have to memorize calculator syntax.
- Runs faster than previous calculators
The bad...
- Larger than previous TI calculators
- In order to see the screen clearly it must be either very birght or you must look almost directly down at it.
- Virtually no programming support, so unlike previous TI graphing calcs you won't be able to add functionality via 3rd party apps unless TI fixes this.
- Complicates simple problems. Problems that were simple to do on the TI-84 are much harder.
- Intstead of the 2nd key, those functions are seperate buttons raised above the normal keys. These green buttons always get in the way when you're entering problems. They should have stuck the the 2nd key fintionality.
- Under it's new skin the funtionality is the same as the TI-84
- Since it looks like a PDA it makes instructors nervous that you're cheating on tests.
- The cover is too tight, they designed it so that the cover pushes into the raised keys scratching the inside of the cover and I have a feeling it will break off the keys before long.
- Take a long time to load after switching out the keypads.
- Not every TI-84 app works with the TI-84 keypad/mode.
Overall it the internal hardware is a huge improvement, it holds a lot of potential. Unfortunatly between the poorly designed keypad and software, it falls flat. Stick with the TI-84 for now. Maybe the Nspire 2 will get it right. |

 "Had to buy it" | 2009-09-29 |

| I had to buy this calculator as a requirement for one of my math classes. I hated the fact that we had to get it, but now that I have it, I use it all the time. Not just for that math class but for anything else I need a calculator for. It's awesome. It has great functions and I like the fact that it has so many different options. |

| This was purchased for my son who went to college this year. I'm sure he likes it very much and appreciates it. I have heard no bad review from him about it so I know he finds it very helpful in his studies. |

| "Ti Nspire" | 2009-09-02 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3KE4877ZQKO5C |
| I bought this for my 7th grader and he says he is the first one done in class everyday. They have a classroom set but having his own lets him become more familiar with the calculator and helps him explore the different options on his own. |

 "The idea is good... but" | 2009-08-18 |

The idea is good. Being able to switch between TI calculators for less $$$ is great. There are a few problems though:
1. Takes forever to load (sure only the first time you use a certain calculator... but it is still annoying if you pop a new one in and want to use it instantly.
2. The button layout of the one with green buttons all over it.
Even TI Knows the button layout is horrible. About a year ago, TI got teens to test out the TI-nspire and several new key layouts for the one with green buttons everywhere. The new ones were 100x better. It would almost anger me if they completely ignore the results (perhaps one of twenty liked the current because they didn't understand the new ones).
Hopefully they change the key layout because one of them was amazing (not saying anything though). =). |

 "Can't back up data entered in TI-84 mode" | 2009-08-10 |
| - Reviewed By User: AMTS65GTOBRL1 |
| I just bought this for my son since he needed a TI-84 figuring he could start with that keypad and grow into the Nspire keypad. Once I got it home, I discovered that in order to back up data entered in TI-84 mode, you need to purchase a separate cable. The USB cable that comes with it will only work properly with the Nspire keypad. The handbook tells you you need to back up TI-84 data before updating the OS or you'll lose it and also tells you that you need a different cable to back up TI-84 data. However, that cable was not in the package and when I called to ask about it, I was told it wasn't included but could be ordered. I made enough noise that they're sending me one for free but I shouldn't have had to do that. Then, when I requested an email confirmation that they were sending me a cable for free in case I didn't receive it, the rep told me she wasn't trained to do that. What kind of company doesn't send email confirmations?? They advertise the fact that it can be used as a TI-84, they should provide the cable to backup the data. I would only buy this if I already had a TI-84 at home since you can use the same cable. |
