Our take on the Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II

The TI-Nspire CX II is Texas Instruments' color-screen graphing calculator built around a document-based operating system. It graphs parametric, polar and differential equations, solves equations symbolically, and handles matrices, statistics and programming. Its rechargeable battery and thin body make it easier to carry than the AA-powered TI-84 Plus CE, but the Nspire workflow has a steeper learning curve. It suits students in courses that require an Nspire, especially where the CAS version is not allowed.

Best forHigh school and college students in courses that require an NspireSAT, ACT and AP exam takers (non-CAS model)Engineering and calculus students who graph parametric and polar functionsUsers who want a rechargeable color-screen calculator
Pros
  • Color 320x240 screen with clear graphs and menus
  • Graphs parametric, polar and differential equations
  • Equation solver, matrices, complex numbers and statistics built in
  • Rechargeable built-in battery, no AA cells to buy
  • Thin, light body for a graphing calculator
  • Programmable and supports TI-Basic and Python
Cons
  • Document-based menu system takes time to learn
  • Fewer third-party tutorials than the TI-84 line
  • No QWERTY keyboard, so typing is slow
  • CAS functions are only on the separate CX II CAS model
