Other Calculators / Can someone help me decide on which calculator to buy? (hopefully right section
« on: April 03, 2010, 05:39:20 pm »
Hey guys, I'm fairly new here since this my first post, but I've been reading some recent posts for a while.
I have a question about buying a new calculator for my college classes, which I'm currently in Calculus 2.
I have the TI Nspire (not CAS), and it would really help me in my classes if I had one with a computer algebra system. I know the TI 89 can do many of the features, but I would prefer an Nspire since I am used to it and love the interface.
Now when looking online, I found the CAS Nspire, as long as the new CAS touchpad nspire. I actually was fortunate to test one of the touchpad ones with my school last year, but it looks like it wasn't even released yet according to TI's website even though they are available on Ebay.
Money isn't much of a concern, but I want a CAS calculator. Should I go with the touchpad to get the newest thing? Or are there bugs with it? I've tried searching but I couldn't find much. Thanks for any help..
