> 3 dayIt is a great calculator and was a good improvement over my ti-84 that I had for a few years. If you have previously used calculators with graphing functionality and are they type of person who likes to pick through the settings It is very easy to get used to. Depending on if I remember to turn it off when I am done I can get it to last around 2 weeks on a single charge and despite the long lasting battery processing speed on this calculator is much better then ones I have previously used. I am currently an engineering student and having a good calculator can make a huge difference in ones studies.

Greater than one weekThis is a massive step up from my TI-84. I had been using them my whole life and my school recommended it. Im going off the college and decided to splurge on a nice, new calculator and this one was great. CAS system saves me from my awful algebra mistakes and I can easily verify my calculus. The ability to also write simply Python code is lovely as well. Highly recommend if youre in the market for your next calculator, but there is a learning curve fyi.

> 3 dayThis calculator has a million mathematical functions built in. Each day I learn a new feature that makes me appreciate this calculator more. It does factoring of polynomials, double and triple integrals all symbolic and numerical. No need for a separate financial calculator. This calculator has many financial functions built in. Also the built-in financial solver is beautiful. Overall, a great cal

> 3 dayExpensive but worth the investment. You can find it cheaper elsewhere but if you want the peace of mind that it will be perfectly new buy it on amazon. The added Computer-Algebra-System isn’t something most people need but it’s worth the extra money as it makes problem solving very easy. It comes with a code to download an emulator on your computer. I use that to right notes on my computer and download them straight to the calculator (very easy to do). It takes some time to get used to the way you use it. It’s more like using a computer but you will get used to it. If you plan on doing anything STEM related this is a great calculator to have. You can download software for almost any subject from algebra to A high level Differential Equations class. If you want to save a little money the previous color model is almost identical aside from color (at least in my experience).

> 3 dayGot this for my son who needed it for high school and college calculus classes. Many schools provide these as loaners for students as well.

> 3 dayLlegó antes de lo esperado, sellado y en buen estado. La calculadora venía full-bundle con la licencia para el software de pc y lo bueno es que se carga a través de USB y no usa pilas

Honest Review
> 3 dayThis calculator is awesome. It has issues doing some things that you could do with Mathways phone app, but this calculator is still amazing. I use it for my calculus class and it has the ability to solve Limits and Derivatives. Even if youre not doing hard math with it, if youre willing to learn how to use the calculator id recommend. The UI is kind of overwhelming admittedly so be mindful of that.

> 3 dayThis is obviously a very capable calculator which is why this gets 4 stars, but there are 2 things that I cant believe passed quality control. First one, when the calculator sits with its back in its sheath on the table and you type it will rock back and forth. I have a cheap Ti-36 that does not do this. My friend also bought this calculator and has the same issue. Second is it only lets you type super slow otherwise it stops recognizing the input, once again my dirt cheap Ti-36 does not have this problem and can accept a far higher input speed. For the money and given that this isnt the first iteration Id expect fundamental things like this not to be an issue. Also really not a fan of the baby blue as the only color option. Mathematically, no complaints, but thats to be expected, this is the top tier calculator. Also needs a higher res screen, its 2019.

> 3 dayThis calculator is jam packed full of features and functions. Definitely worth the hefty price tag for anyone majoring in engineering, physics, math, etc. Not as intuitive as using a TI83 or TI84, but far more powerful. The rechargeable battery also lasts a really long time, with a very long standby period.

> 3 dayI’m a math major in college and if you’re planning on going into any math-based field, this is the only calculator that’s a reasonable price and does EVERYTHING. My review for math people: I used this starting in calc ii. For calc ii, it does improper integrals, double integrals, indefinite integrals (the TI-84 doesn’t do indefinite or improper). Pretty sure it can do some infinite series and sequences (but I think only problems that don’t evaluate to a number?). In physics, I loved using an inspire because it will solve systems of equations (mainly useful for when I did kinematics). For calc iii this calculator will graph in 3D and you can plug and chug any formula. For diff eq, this calculator will solve them and systems of differential equations and it will give you exact answers, which most calculators won’t do. For linear algebra, there’s nothing better. It’s super easy to select matrix size and do literally anything. The UI on this model is nicer than the previous model, but other than that there’s no difference (I was using the previous model before getting this one). For non-math people: I’ve seen a lot of high schoolers (or high school parents) buying these. DON’T buy this calculator if you’re in high school. I pretty much guarantee you won’t be able to use it because it comes with CAS (computer algebra system). No teacher in their right mind would allow their math student to use one of these in class—it’s just cheating. If you want something that’s better than the TI-84 and have money to burn, get this without the CAS. Also, you won’t be able to use any TI-nspire on standardized tests with college board (except I think AP Stats?). You can use the one without CAS on the ACT, but not this one. If you are planning on doing college math (beyond calculus—this isn’t really useful until at least multi variable calculus), it might be worth the investment. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but Google will be your friend. It’s really not as complicated as it seems. I found it way more intuitive than the TI-84.
