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.

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 a great buy! September 28, 2009

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.

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.
