New Nspire CX Info
« on: May 08, 2011, 05:42:57 pm »
I got my hands on a CX on Thursday; unfortunately, this is the first time I've had a stable internet connection since then.  Once I got it, I opened it ASAP and charged it up and immediately began making my first program - a quadratic solver.  :P

The CX yielded some surprising and not-so-surprising information.  Anyway, it turns out I get a slidecase after all.  ;)

 - The CX includes a slide case
 - Battery percentage is measured in increments of 25%
 - Length and width are very similar to an 84, but about half as wide
 - Battery life is similar to a phone's  (or maybe I use it too much.  :P)
 - Shiny
 - Light
 - Screen dims after a couple of minutes of no use
 - 115.2 MB of space left after OS is installed

It's pretty much a handheld computer.  Turning on seems to take no time at all, but turning off does.  As for this, the answer is definitely yes.  A video of the CX is available for download here, as requested by Scout.  ;)

The video was also uploaded on DJ's Youtube account:


On a side note, I met program4 this weekend.  :D

Well, TI made the CD. That could explain why it is crashing! :P

Nice that you got one, but how did you get it? Because on TI website it still says coming soon ???

Also it's possible to make a quadratic solver on the TI-Nspire? O.O

Actually, I made a Quadratic Solver "Function", but same difference.  :P

TI sponsors Mathcounts.  ;D  I went to Nationals, they give a free calc every year, this year they promoted the CX.  \o/

If it was the CX CAS, we could have checked if the OS had the same CAS bugs as the ClickPad/TouchPad one...


Could you take a photo of the dock connector?

Are the booting screens any different? Could we have a photo/video of the booting?

I can maybe possibly ask my coach to see his CX CAS, since the coaches get a CX.  As long as it doesn't kill the calc.  :P

With Yunhua98's permission, I put the video on my Youtube account for those who can't or don't want to download the file.

EDIT: Darn... the main calculator improvement, which is a color LCD, is so much underused it seems...

Yes... the Prizm uses the color screen much better.

I hope they at least added parhentesis coloring. So far most color is the Periodic table, the home screen menu and the battery status icon. It seems like the color screen is just to make people go hyper and buy this calc instead, even if it has little color. That said, it looks MUCH better than the old screen, though.

I don't know when I will buy one. I collect calcs, but right now this calc is not a big priority, plus I bet it will take several months to arrive here anyway. I was more impatient at the Prizm release than the TI-Nspire CX.

The screen looks quite nice.  I hope we can get C\ASM on there fast!  ;)
