The only downside is that if you want to run a program which has subprograms or subfiles, only the main program can be on the flashdrive when you run it. It also takes a little bit longer to initially launch a program, but once the program is running there's no performance difference at all.

My piping hot take is that the CE is pointless and the worst target to pick to replace. The TI-84 and nspire CX II are both better for different reasons. Zero would be far better of remaking the CX II and slightly better off remaking the 84. Picked the most useless middle child of the series that people buy because the screen is "better" but everything else about it is inferior.
@TInyHackerCalcsАй бұрын
The biggest reason they're remaking the CE is because that is by far the most popular graphing calculator in high schools in the US, which is their target audience. The CX II is twice as expensive and rarely used, so teachers and students have less experience and the interface is a lot different. What do you find about the monochrome TI-84 Plus that is better than the CE? For most uses the CE is both faster and more suited towards modern classrooms, especially with a colored screen, though obviously there have been some recent developments with blocking of assembly that are annoying.

However, physical calculators will always remain in business as long as teachers need a device which is easy to manage, and almost all tests and exams do not allow phones as they are far more difficult to monitor / manage and can connect to the internet, etc.
@@TInyHackerCalcs well, since I'm the inofficial calculator technician at my school, I've been in contact with most of that. curriculums here basically change on a 3-5 year basis (from non-graphing to graphing calculator and now back, then to a "modular math system" in 3 years where The students either need to buy new calculators (nSpire no longer complies with the rules then) or use something where, for tests, we can define what is available and what isn't - geogebra and its test mode is looking promising in that regard. At University level, most programmable tools are not allowed in most cases since they can't check them and they basically have to get an fx-85 or similar. It's a pain in the butt.
(I wonder why graphing calculators are still being developed) It's the keyboard. When I was an engineer at uni. I put so many miles on my ti 81. My phone keyboard layout for the calculator app would never suffice. And even if it were an EXACT match. The tactile muscle memory is still gone. I want my calculator (stand alone).
It would be nice to know which TI graphing calculators are the most powerful, by hardware and software. I I am particularly interested in a colour model. I live in the UK and some of models sold either have French manuals or no manuals at all.
The TI-Nspire CX II CAS (or CX II-T CAS) is the most powerful in terms of hardware and software, and also has a color screen. I prefer the 84 Plus CE as it has more third-party software support and an interface I find easier to use, but the Nspire CX II CAS is much more powerful than the CE and has more features as well.
The top five most powerful IMHO are TI-NSpire CX II CAS, then the TI-89 Titanium/Voyage 200, then TI-NSpire CX II, then TI-83 Premium Python Edition, then TI-84 Plus CE Python. All the mentioned except the older TI-89 Titanium/Voyage 200 have Python and a color screen.
Great video Tiny!
Thanks!
My piping hot take is that the CE is pointless and the worst target to pick to replace. The TI-84 and nspire CX II are both better for different reasons. Zero would be far better of remaking the CX II and slightly better off remaking the 84. Picked the most useless middle child of the series that people buy because the screen is "better" but everything else about it is inferior.
The biggest reason they're remaking the CE is because that is by far the most popular graphing calculator in high schools in the US, which is their target audience. The CX II is twice as expensive and rarely used, so teachers and students have less experience and the interface is a lot different. What do you find about the monochrome TI-84 Plus that is better than the CE? For most uses the CE is both faster and more suited towards modern classrooms, especially with a colored screen, though obviously there have been some recent developments with blocking of assembly that are annoying.
just bought this calculator for $2.50 at a thrift store, it was 50% off!!
That's an awesome deal! I'm jealous 😂
