How did we like it?
The cool thing about this calculator is that it has a full color screen, you can upload pictures and calculated an arch or measure volume from the picture. So super cool. My son loved taking it to school and kept his math notes right inside the Calculator and once he got home, he was able to transfer his notes to the PC and work on both, the PC and the Calculator.

We loved the extensive video training manual for this calculator; best part…it’s all free on the website. Texas Instruments even has a Student Zone, where you can practice for SAT, ACT or AP.

Anytime there is an update for the calculator, it’s free of charge and you will be notified, so you always have the latest and greatest. This brand new Texas Instruments Nspire CX Graphing Calculator is definitely worth it’s money; it retails for $169.00 but can be used from High school through College and then some. Just think, you will never have to buy another calculator again.

Another nice thing about this calculator, you don’t have to buy batteries. It comes with a rechargeable battery and charger, so you are always ready to go when you need it. The design of the Nspire CX is thin and lightweight. Making it easy to drop into your backpack or carry to school.

My son truly enjoys this calculator and his math teacher has been playing with it as well and said it was a bit advanced for what their needs are; yet he will definitely look into getting one for himself. He loved the capability to be able to work in the classroom, save his work and then move it to his home/work PC and print out the work; it’s almost like a mini computer.
