Despite its raw power, much higher than that of the TI-Z80 and the TI-68k series, the Nspire series remains quite a disaster, as far as programmability goes. This is because TI made the Nspire family closed platforms, turning the back to ~15 years of openness of the TI-Z80 & TI-68k series, whose programmability helped make TI the marketplace leader...

If you have the money to throw around, go with either a CX or a prizm.
pros for the CX:
-larger,more active programming community(and we have people like critor working tirelessly to crack them open)
-if you like lua, this calculator's for you
-in terms of gaming, the CX is faster than the prizm, and there are already GBC and NES emulators available
pros for the prism:
-Casio isn't actively locking the prism down more with each update-in fact, they even fix reported bugs(locate glitch, for example)
-the Prism allows native assembly code and C without having to exploit loopholes in the OS like ndless
IIRC, it's better-documented at the moment

From what I recall, the Prizm ranges from $100 to $120 while the CX is something like $140-150.

with amazon, I got my CX for 130 Euro, so that seems about right... it's more expensive if you want the CX cas, though

You can buy both for a bit above 100 dollars. Nspire still enjoys Lua Programming, so it still has some programmability.
Casio development is probably a bit more active on Cemetech though...

The TI-83+/TI-84+/TI-84+SE are nice choices as well. You have the options of BASIC, ASM, Axe, Grammer, or any handful of ASM libraries at your disposal for programming. They aren't as fancy as the Nspire or the Prizm, and only offer a B&W display. They are completely open platforms though, have a huge library of games and programs available for them, and many active coders.

I would definitively go with the PRIZM if you plan to program on an open platform and the CX if you want the most powerful one, at the risk of permanently losing the ability to use ASM/C on it one day. Else, a z80 calc has full freedom at the cost of having lower specs. 68Ks are more powerful than z80 calcs, but almost nobody use them anymore.

If you can, get a TI-89 Titanium. Otherwise the Prizm or the TI-84+SE is for you. Maybe if you whine to TI, though, you might be able to get them to support Asm on the Nspire.

Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

Hmm ti-89 titanium has too small userbase imo.
