TI-NspireThe TI-Nspire is the newest calculator from Texas instruments. It functions more like a computer than a calculator in many ways. It has a high res display, a computer like interface, and even interchangeable keypads that can make it act like a TI-Nspire. There are two main versions, the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS. The TI-Nspire CAS has a Computer Algebra System, meaning it can manipulate variables and solve equations. After a the first couple of years, TI changed the design from both CAS and non-CAS from clickpad to touchpad. The new calculator's touchpad acts like a computer laptop touchpad, especially useful in graphing mode.
