Is there a website describing TI Nspire platforms?
I have just been intrigued by a mention of the TI Nspire having a good keyboard to try to find out more about this.
The initial results are confusing and disappointing, but the disappointment might be unjustified, as I have only quickly browsed many websites. First, the keyboard. Someone said it had alpha keys accessible without shifting numbers on a keypad, which sounds good for programming, except it's actually an AZ keyboard not qwerty. Second, cost. Unlike the HP Prime emulator, which costs about £25 to purchase if your device is supported (but has no Python), it seems it can be rented for about $25/year...I have yet to discover a UK price.* However, platforms. Although at first glance it seems it's available on Chromebook, some sites suggest this is a licence free version that only works with a dongle (a real calculator), whereas the Windows version doesn't require the dongle (to be confirmed). The internet is required if you are using the online emulator/or not-emulator, and one website says it must be "reliable". Is there a single website from TI that makes clear whether an emulator for the Chromebook is available? As mentioning a Chromebook version that doesn't emulate (simulate?) next to Windows versions that may seems likely to confuse. *prices here are estimates for some software and do not include any required dongles. Santa, anything other than Numworks with Python on Chromebook/Android? Stephen Lewkowicz (G1CMZ) https://my.numworks.com/python/steveg1cmz |
