- What's Changed between the TI-nspire CX CAS and the TI-nspire CX II CAS?
Not much.
The newest version of the Nspire has a faster processor and a few user interface improvements. But overall, these two calculators have the same functionality and capabilities.

Not to brag, but my Ti-84 Plus only took 22 seconds to throw an error code for the summation problem.
Damn dude no need to flex
everyone gangsta till the calculator errors
Everyone gangsta until someone over locks their calculator

My titanium took 7 minutes to do that summation
I wish the CX ii calculators had black/white models as well, I like the blue however, but If pure black was an option, I definitely would've picked that instead
@Ashgaming123_GD where did you get yours?
Staples has an all white model. I've seen the all black in my store that I used to work at, but they don't have it listed online.
Fun fact: I popped the summation problem into a calculator app on my phone (running a Snapdragon 865+), and it took 9-10 seconds each time to calculate. I tested the same problem on another phone with a midrange MediaTek chip (Dimensity 720) and the same app, and it took about 15 seconds to calculate each time. I know it's kind of an apples-to-oranges comparison, but I thought it was a little interesting 😁
Problem is they don't let you use phones in tests
I just did this test on my hp prime g2 and it took only about 0.3 - 0.5 seconds. So it is not only power but optimisation as well. Which is interesting as well.
It depend on what app you are using and btw the answer for the summation problem on the video is straight up wrong, the real answer is less than 1 and idk how this calculator got 30011
I have no idea why I watched this video, but I found it fascinating. Thanks for making it!
Because you WANT to buy one of these fancy calculators to make your basic Algebra class more entertaining, like me.
"
And then it goes on to the next loading screen!" I don't know why I thought that was so funny. lol
S. Dub same hahaha
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that I can learn while enjoying quality entertainment during quarantine! Looking forward to your next video :)))-
At first I was afraid of math. But after reading A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley and THIS calculator, I wield math like a sword!
When you are a nerd you watch this video.
😂
I'm far from a nerd and watching
I'm not a nerd yet, but slowly becoming one.
When you are a bigger nerd you search for this video.
You don’t have to call me out like that
Good review. You have done some good videos !
Can we connect any of these with Samsung galaxy tablets?
Released in 2019 and still extremelly slower than a 2013 HP Prime... Niiiiiice
Very useful thanks you. I'm buying a used version 1.
¡Muy buen vídeo, amigo! Muy completo el resumen, y objetivo!. No existen grandes diferencias entre las dos maquinas. La Cx Cas esta mucho mas cara que el modelo 2. Todo pasa por la optimización del software, solamente. Pero tanto el Modelo Cx Cas como el Cx Cas 2, rinden exactamente igual. En resumen una TI NSPIRE CX CAS es mejor que cualquier modelo de Casio. Saludos desde Argentina!
Hola, el 2 es doble en precio.. no entiendo.
Jajaj este tipo diciendo pura mamufadas, ahí calculadoras de Casio que cumplen mejor que TI
El modelo 2 es mas economico

Hello. I have a TI spire CX II-T CAS. How can I design a vector in 3D? For example [3; 2; 6]. In 2D is ok but in 3D?
i've run same third speed test on my TI-89 and it took whole 6 minutes and 56 seconds. the result is expectable but still impressive
My old HP Prime (first generation) calculates the Sum formula in about 2 seconds and the new one is more than 2 times as fast. 6.4 seconds is really slow. It completely replaced my TI nSpire CAS.
I have the hp prime, it is fast but I think the Nspire is better when working with graphs.
Hey, nice video!
One question. What’s the difference between the texas cas professor version and the normal one (student)?
Late reply, but the student one (the non-CAS) doesn’t have the “super math abilities” of the CAS version.
Hello
Are the displays of both calculators the same? My CX Cas II calculator got wet and I could only get the display of the previous version, but I don't know if it works.
I apologize for my english.
The displays appear to be exactly the same. Same resolution, size, brightness etc. I would assume you would be able to replace the screens interchangeably, but I have not seen the the display connection inside the calculator so I don't know for sure.
I'm very familiar with TI 89 Titanium and is very happy with its electrical Apps functions, that is not in TI-nspire CAS; very bad.
But I am going to buy one of the those new TI CX, that has all the good old and new functions, that cover high level Maths, DSP, Electical problem, Random and stochastic process. Which one of those would you recommend to me?
3:30 I finished to watch your video and write this comment, my FX-991EX still computing the sum.
Is there any way to replace the side color of the calculator it-nspire cx ii cas?
nice video, how about the battery life ?? have you test that?
Quick, and kinda dumb, question: you know the cover thing the Ti-82 comes with? That you can use to protect the front of the calculator if you wanna drop it into your school bag, and not having to worry about the screen getting a scratched? Is there a cover on the Cx 2 Cas? I ordered a case for it just in case, but I really wanna know 😅
There is a hard plastic cover that slides over the front of the TI-nspire CX II CAS and protects the screen as well as all the buttons. It comes with the calculator.
I just bought the TI nspire cx for 60 bucks used and flashed the CAS OS in it. Dam good of a deal. I also have the cracked teacher software if anyone want it. You guys are welcome
Dumb question- did they update the USB PC charging cable?
I saw some used “TI inspire calculators (there is no CX on the front). Its grey and black. Is this the same one?
No, those are older, slower and have a black and white screen. They’re cheap, but not nearly as good
I have heard that python is coming in for the cx cas version II.
It is, in the fall.
wait, does that mean I should wait to buy one or is it just a matter of updating the software?
This update is for only ti nspire cx cas ii. The last version ti nspire cx cas (black one) is not included in this update.
The version II has python, but TI BASIC isn't that hard to learn, programming concepts are relatively the same between languages and my guess is that they are both pulling from the same library.
@@kodiererg i’m only just starting python now, but i can already tell there are big differences. ti-basic is a very, well, basic language. admittedly, without the ability to connect to the internet, python’s lure is diminished, but it remains infinitely more powerful than basic.
When will your next video be released??
It's great to know the CX II is faster (and therefore better) than the CX , but what does CX stand for in the first place? I called TI to ask them the same question, but the girl who answered the phone didn't know TI made an nspire calculator and even asked me to send a picture! It's wonderful to know I should buy one of these, but wouldn't it also be smart to know what I'm buying? If any of your viewers know, please reply.
CX probably means Color and then X to sound more appealing. Names mean a lot. TI nSpire CX II CAS sounds way more high tech, faster, appealing, etc. than the HP Prime, but the HP Prime funnily enough, has the better hardware. About the same in capability though, one is just faster and easier to use.
I already have the first one do I need to get the second one?
Sirven los mismos .tns de la cx 1 en la cx 2?
What about Python? Can old CX version 1 program in Python? Is there a way to add Python or micro python to old CX version 1? Or could I compile a Python program and put it back to the old CX version 1 to run? I was told that program in Python run much faster. Thanks.
i recently bought a ti nspire cx 2 non-cas version, and the build quality seemed cheaper than its 2011 version. i know this is now an older video but if anyone can tell me how the build quality stands up i would appreciate it.
If that's true that's nice, i just bought the version 1
in 8th grade, starting a1 now :D
the big difference is you can use commands for draw from programs and the other is python
Ended up here while I was searching for a powerful calculator so I could comment on an Abacus video.
My ti 85 only takes about a minute and 20 seconds before it runs out of memory and throws an error. though I do get an immediate overflow error if it try the integral instead.
If I shutdown my TI-Nspire CX CAS version 1 I must press the ON key 2 times to turn it on.

*Le sigh*. I felt that man
I have a question, how long should the calculator battery be charged?
Approx. 4 hours
Do an HP Prime one vs Casio fx cg-500
Should i get one of these calculators for the SAT? or is the ti-84 fine?
I’d say it wouldn’t be worth it to get a new calculator for the SAT if you already have the ti-84. As long as you have solid algebra skills you should be fine.
Depends on your personality, for SAT no calculator section, a CAS calculator can save a lot of time, however it does take some time to become very fast with all the functionality. For the calculator section it can save some time, but most of the questions in the calculator section can be done without calculator, and the CAS functionality isn’t as much of a help.
I tried the benchmark at 3:30 on my 3 calculators. My TI-89 Titanium completed that computation in 8 min 31 seconds, my Casio FX-991 EX (a top tier scientific non-graphing calculator) completed it in 15 minutes 35 seconds, and my TI-83 gave an "Invalid Dimm" error after 16 seconds.
The TI-83 Plus does not have a summation function.
...MINUTES??!
@@leonielobster7653 Try following these instructions here for the TI-83: www.math.utep.edu/faculty/cmmundy/Math%201411/Summation%20on%20the%20TI-83.pdf
87 seconds for classpad cp400.
looks like titanium version is significantly slower than the old one
I have a CX CAS first version. when I attempt the summation in your example, x=1 to 30000, 1/e^x I receive "Resource exhaustion Cannot complete calculation". Yours worked! Anyone have a solution?
I found a solution: the calculator tries to give you an exact answer (because its CAS), so press ctrl + enter for the decimal answer. Hope that helps =)
I bought Cx ii from Amazon. Now there is an issue with it. So it was dead and was off for while so I decided to charge it but after sometime when I tried to turn it on its menu screen appeared which was blur and then it got switched off. After that it kept on getting switched on and then off on its on. I don't know what's problem with it. I need some help if someone can help where should I go?
Probably the battery.
The version 2 is cheaper because the first version is discontinued I think. The 1st version is like $30 more than the 2nd!
I picked up a v1 non CAS from a guy of off nextdoor for 15 bucks , gonna try and flash a CAS bios onto it and see what it can do!

HP Prime
The two top of the line calculators on the market are the TI Nspire CX CAS II and the HP Prime. The primary difference between the two is the CX is focused on education. It has been invaluable for me in the classroom, especially when combined with the extremely pricey "Made Easy" apps (google "Nspire Made Easy"). These apps wont help much on tests, but they will help understand more simple problems where you might not be clear on what to do.
The Prime is the "real world" calculator. It is faster, and the touchscreen makes it so much easier to use for things like exploring a graph and visualizing your derivatives and so forth, BUT, it is not intuitive in the way you input commands. Compound that with the fact that the battery will drain in 2 days, whether you are using it or not, and it makes it pretty obnoxious for school where you may not have access to a wall outlet to charge it if you need to use it in a pinch. Basically, this is the major problem with the Prime is that when you need it, the battery will likely be dead.
The Nspire uses templates. You tell it to make a function, there is a box that indicates where the numbers are going to go. It basically makes the text look like you would see it in a textbook, virtually eliminating placing numbers in the wrong place. The Prime is more command line like, you input the command and enter numbers in the command and hopefully you have put the numbers in the right place. Luckily, the Prime has builtin documentation that is very good (one area the Nspire lacks) to help both to find the correct command and to use the command correctly.
One last thing, and this may seem like a small thing, but the Nspire has a full keyboard, where the Prime does not. This makes inputting commands on the Nspire significantly easier.
They each have their place. The Prime is better in the real world, aside from the bizarre math bugs you will find should you use some weird function with just the right numbers (HP's quality control is a bit strange), but it is highly unlikely that you will ever run into this issue, and if you keep the firmware up to date, most of these issues have been since resolved. The Nspire on the other hand is great for classroom settings where you have controlled math problems that fit a specific format seen in text books. I have both, I use both depending on my needs. When I need to visualize a graph, the Prime is great, when I need to calculate a math problem, the Nspire is my goto. I would personally recommend getting both because they are really two different calculators with different design decisions behind them.
Also, reverse polish notation is overrated, especially on the prime. For whatever reason, the calculator runs in two modes (CAS and NonCAS) and the mode you most likely will use all of the time (CAS mode) does not even support reverse polish notation. CAS mode is what lets you solve for variables like X, Y, or Z. Without it, you cant solve for variables in the traditional sense.

How do you turn these things off how Do you power them down...

You can overclock it
@@he-man4076 the cx ii one?
@@complex_variation yes
What you should really be wondering is which one is more fun (it can play DOOM) and that is the first one
any updates on cx ii gba compatibility? i’ve been wondering which one to get.
@@ChadBeetle I haven't heard of any but I personally got the first nspire cause of the games. I could have gotten the ii but I want games. I can play doom in class now we'll not now but used to. The only advantage of the ii is that it's faster but if you want a fast calculator get the HP graphing calculator. It's a lot faster then both of them. The ii is just good for nothing. It's slow compared to others and has no games unless you like shitty lua games. The First one is the slowest but it has the biggest game selection of a calculator that I know so I love it. Plus it is fast enough for me on tests and stuff. I never had a problem with it
The cx ii also can, and it's faster so it will be smoother...?
@@he-man4076 You need a jailbreak in order to play with programs other than LUA, on the cx ii, and it doesn't exist
Ndless works on the cx ii
should i get this for high school math and SAT? (upgrading from TI 83 Plus)
It may be a good upgrade, you can do much more with either one of these than you can with the TI-83. Both are allowed on the SAT but maybe check with your math teacher about using it for your math class (my guess is it they would be fine with it). Having a Computer Algebra System calculator on the SAT may give you a slight advantage but it won't be life changing. What is very important for the SAT though, is that you are familiar with whatever calculator you are using. So it wouldn't be a good idea to get a new calculator a week before your exam for example, because you won't know where all the functions and things are as well as you would on a calculator that you'd been using for a while.
Get a fx-991Ex, this is more than enough

I am swapping out the mother boards so it looks like CAS I :P
The worst window they got is on the TI-84. That thing is THICC!
This is a very bad Texas Instruments policy. They sold a fairly expensive calculator (CX CAS) a few years ago with limited possibilities to use it other than for education, then they sold an expensive Rover to it, and now they cut off the owners from the possibility of using a new programming language, Python. It's a shame, dear TI.

Hi! I have 2 libraries for Laplace transforms, they are called specfunc and cmplxanlys, the first one you can find it in TIuniverse the second one in ticalc.org, google the name of the library and the website, you should be able to find them in zip file, you download the library unzip it and then with TI Student software on your PC you transfer the .tns file to the MyLib folder on your Nspire, after that go to your calculator on scratchpad press doc and then Refresh Libraries, now by pressing the Catalog Key and going to the 6th tab you should see a folder with either name of the library, enter on either and the available functions will show up, in order to know how to input the information for each function you will want to open the .tns file on the Nspire or the PC software in order to read the instructions that the author has provided for using the library he developed. I would recommend you to try many libraries since some of them might be easier for some things and other might give more functions than others, in this example specfunc is capable of doing Laplace transforms with Dirac Delta and Heaviside form, which might be useful for you weather cmplxanlys has other functions that might be useful for you as well, let me know if you need more help!
I always loved calculators, can you explain me why? I really have no ideas, I liked math and physics when in high school, they was fairly easy for me, I never encountered any particular difficulties. Can you tell me your opinion why a kid (me) could love calculators ever since when he was 4, even if he can’t use all the functions and options?
Same here. I'm neurodivergent and I have a fascination with mathematics. It might be the same. I am now 3 years ahead in mathematics.
*flashback about plainrock124 smashes ti-nspire cx cas*
I tried the sum(1/e^(x),x,1,30000) on my t(rusty) old TI-89 Titanium - just for laughs - it took more than 8 minutes and yielded (e^(30000) - 1)(e^(-30000)) / e - 1. Wow!!
Not to brag, but my Ti-84 Plus only took 22 seconds to throw an error message.
my ti84 plus ce took 4 seconds, heh.
and my casio fx-570sp x ii classwiz took a second...
My TI-84 Plus gives misleading an 'ERROR:Overflow' error after 5 seconds with sum(seq(1/e(X),x,1,30000,1))
The TI-30X Pro MP also after 10 seconds
The first thing I noticed is that the new version burns through a battery charge in about half the time of the first version
That's likely because its CPU is twice as fast.
Somebody tell me what that "cx" stands for.
why would the older version be more expensive than the newer one🤔🤔🤔
How do you apply infinity limits on a calculator
On the TI-nspire you can press [menu] [4] [4] to bring up the limit template. Then to enter infinity as your approach, press the [pi] key (left of the letter keys) and then scroll to the right to select the infinity symbol.
I really want to get the CXII CAS and CC CAS as well, which one should I get?

A big difference is the computer software. Only by buying versin 2 you get the CAS student software. Otherwise you only have the one without CAS, which is not that useful, and you need to buy it separately.
That may have been the case 2yrs ago. Just received my gen1 and it came with a licensed key for student software.

I think another big difference is CXII support python
I tried the benchmark at 3:30 on a HP Prime: under 1 seconds.
TI makes inferior calculators. The only real reason they’re still used in schools is because it would take too long to switch, and because people in America think they’re better. A Casio FX9750GII actually graphs faster than a TI-84 Plus, at half the price. But we still just use TI.
@@Chris-tn9bf But HP is an american company, soooo wtf?
