RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
I just got my CX II CAS in the mail today. Fortunately it's a lot faster than the Student Software running on a 4.20GHz Core i7. It's still not in the same league as the HP Prime G2, though. I'll have exact benchmark figures soon. One thing I notes is that it actually has less memory than the first version! The CX CAS has 115.2 MB and the CX II CAS has 92.3 MB (both measurements are the amount available to the user)

It's possible the CX II will be less stiff after using it for some time. All-in-all, though, I'm very pleased with the new keyboard. I'm glad TI didn't go for cheap when it came to that. The CX II does weigh a little less than the CX but it still seems very solid. I don't regret the purchase a bit. N.B. The TI-Nspire Computer Link software does NOT work with the CX II. I don't know if TI will be coming out with an update to that but right now, the latest Computer Link available on the website is a no-go. You can still transfer software to the calculator via the CX CAS Student Software which has been updated. Tom L Cui bono? |

It's not much, about £30/yr if I recall, but it's the principle. If you've bought the hardware you shouldn't have to pay to use the accompanying software as well. |

Sounds like the new CX II keys are probably about the same as what a new CX would have. |

I didn't bother installing it because it only let you install it on a single computer and there was no official way to transfer the license to a different computer (apart from phoning up TI and begging for assistance). After a bit of googling, there might be a way to transfer the license if the following post from a deleted user on Reddit is to be believed: [TUTORIAL] How to move a TI-Nspire CX CAS Software license from one PC to another. u/[deleted] on Reddit Wrote: I haven't tried it.

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
I received the CX II CAS today. The CX II's case is thinner than the original CX. I like the keys on the CX II better, easier to type. I think the CX II has a more defined screen resolution. On a simple test (for loop of 500 iterations), the CX II is about 2.5 times faster than the CX but the HP Prime is still the Speedy Gonzales of all calculators.

It doesn't run on the CX II yet. If you program in TI Basic, you might like the new graphics commands. Tom L Cui bono? |

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
The future is Python syntax with support for symbolic CAS data not the obsolete TIBASIC
Python syntax + CAS is already possible with Xcas https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-12519.html |

That's why I was so bummed to find out I'll have to wait for it on the TI. The folks who work on ndless are brilliant but that's not their full-time job so updates are spotty. Who knows when we'll see an updated version that works on Nspire OS 5.x so we can run MicroPython again. Heck, even the OS update to the original CX CAS breaks it and I haven't found a way to go back to OS 4.5.0. Tom L Cui bono? |

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
I will test TI-Nspire CX II after gained a free perpetual license of TI-Nspire CX Premium Teacher Software.
But I like HP Prime more than TI-Nspire. |

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
The graphics commands on the CX-II is like the HP Prime. All the graphics are shown on a separate screen and everything is done in pixels. The screen is 318 x 212 pixels, close to the HP Prime.
The CX II was delivered to me on Thursday (Vernier is super quick on delivery). However, I had to relearn the Nspire before jumping in, so I put together a survival guide of the basics (this covers the basic, and original CX): https://drive.google.com/open?id=15XolSF...vpmVJfwcfw |

The screen is 318 x 212 pixels, close to the HP Prime. You don't have to work in pixels on either machine. You can set your own coordinate system. To set a screen for graphing average temperature (F) over the years from 1995 to 2019: On Prime: Xmin:=1995; Xmax:=2019; //These values might need adjusting since Prime Ymin:=-30; Ymax=105; // maps to the physical screen in a weird way. On CX II: SetWindow 1995,2019,-30,105 Also, Prime has a facility to grab either a part or a whole screen and put it somewhere else on the screen. This can be used sort of like sprites. The TI has no such facility (yet?) Tom L Cui bono? |

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
The TI-Nspire graphics mode is good in display graphics. Unfortunately, once graphics mode is entered, the Nspire stays in graphics mode. Not even calling a subroutine or another program terminates graphics mode.
This means that when the Nspire is in graphics mode, the commands Request, RequestStr, and Text are no longer accepted. So the only to get input and ouptut, is probably the use of the getkey command (and possibly a lot of string building, i.e. if getkey(1)="0", add 0 to the number string, use DrawText, etc). Maybe in a future update Request, RequestStr, and Text become available in graphics mode. Here is an example of entering a number using getkey when the Nspire CX II is in graphics mode, this allows for entering decimal points and negative numbers. Press [enter] to terminate number entry: Code: Define enterdemo()= |

RE: TI-Nspire™ CX II-T Is Now Available!
Hi Eddie,
I'm wondering, now that you have had the CX 11 CAS for awhile, what your thoughts are, how does it compare with the machine it replaces, both graphically, computationally, and any other differences/improvements. It appears as if it provides a wizard which allows for easier entry of differential equations with boundary conditions... |

Came across this thread while looking for the difference between the CX II and CX II-T machines apart from the colour scheme.
