Texas Instruments TI-Nspire with Clickpad
$140.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:Large clear display, graphics are easy to read. Plastic body feels solid and sturdy. Contours and grips on the sides make it easy to hold on to with one hand.
The Cons:Buttons don't feel natural at first, take some getting used to. Fairly heavy and bulky to carry around. Takes some time to learn how to access the unit's functions.
The Texas Instruments TI-Nspire with Clickpad is one of two graphing calculators (TI-Nspire / TI-Nspire CAS) released commercially in Fall 2008 as upgrades from the TI-83 / TI-84 line of calculators. They maintain the same form factor, but add along a bevy of features including multiple representations, “grab & move” functionality, resizing, dynamic linking, and the ability to save and edit in-progress work.

Plus specialized Windows and Macintosh software has been released that can essentially ‘mimic’ the unit’s functionalities. This means teachers don’t have to rely on putting the device underneath a projector light to display its content to their students. Featured is a TI-83 / TI-84 emulator that targets secondary schools still transitioning from the legacy models to the TI-Nspire series.
Additional Information
Since the TI-Nspire with Clickpad does not have a QWERTY keyboard, it can be used on the PSAT, SAT, SAT II, ACT, and AP Exams. Plus it relies on a Clikpad computer-like cursor control that can be used to point, move and click.
