Make sure it's not a Nspire CAS+ (prototype), though.

When I look the CAS is more expensive. I know the CAS prototypes are less expensive but why would you want one of those?

Yeah normally the CAS is supposed to be more expensive. Remember, however, that there could be a catch: Maybe it's a CAS+ or one of the prototypes that tries to pass itself as a commercial model, which can't use commercial OS upgrades.

Also the CAS is banned from some math tests in North America.

The CAS is banned and the PTT mode disables OSLauncher so there is no way to get a CAS clac into a test if the people check your calc and do what they're supposed to.

One thing to know is that according to Touchpad models owners, the touchpad is fairly imprecise, and can trigger spurious clicks.

On the CX, I noticed there seemed to be some sort of imprecision too from Yunhua98 video. It seems the video is lagging, but in fact it isn't, but at one point you see the cursor moves accross the screen at like 4-5 frames per second.

Also I believe certain Ndless games won't work on Touchpad models, but maybe that was fixed.

Programs should be rebuilt with a recent version of Ndless 2.0 to work on Touchpad models, but I don't know the current state of the different TI-Nspire programs.

Ah ok. I think one problem in particular was gbc4nspire. I think it was rebuilt for Ndless 2.0, but this version was never included on ticalc.org nor Omni downloads section so it can be hard to find.

Yes, this one isn't compatible yet.
I was working on a disassembler producing assembly files that can be directly rebuilt with GCC, to be able to maintain gbc4nspire without its original source code, but didn't have time to finish it.
