And if you are constantly having to press multiple buttons to access something as simple as a trig function, that time can add up and become annoying. Even so, the number of menus may be a deal breaker for some not because of the confusion it may cause but because it takes slightly more time to get to what you want.

Overall the TI-nspire will take longer to figure out how to use, but you will have access to more features. There is also a graphing section in the "Scratchpad" so don't worry about that being a hassle as well. This is where you can type in expressions like on any normal calculator without having to go through the whole document process. However, the document gets saved on to your calculator and you have to go in and delete it if you don't want things getting too cluttered up.īut you will probably be spending most of your time in the "Scratchpad" section of the calculator. Creating the document doesn't involve that many extra steps. For example, if you want to draw a shape in the geometry app you will have to create a geometry document. If you want to perform a task outside of calculations, in most cases you will have to do that in a separate "document". However, as you might notice from the picture, the TI-nspire has selections for csc sec and cot.Īnother thing that makes the usability of the TI-nspire less smooth is the way that the user interface is set up. Whereas the TI-84 has its own dedicated trig buttons that will do something like bring up sin( with the press of just one button. If you want to do something as simple as evaluating the sine of an angle on the nspire you will have to open up a name by pressing the " trig" button and then scrolling to the function you want and then pressing to select it. I'll refer to the image below as an example.

On the TI-84 Plus CE if you are looking for a specific function chances are you will be able to access that function by pressing one button and maybe then having to scroll left or right or up or down. If you are looking for a specific feature you will probably have to dig around in menus a bit more on the TI-nspire than you would on the TI-84. This is partly because of all the features it has and partly because of all the different menus it has. In general, the nspire is a lot more confusing to get to know how to use. (TI-nspire on the left in the image below, TI-84 Plus CE on the right) When you turn on the TI-84, on the other hand, you are greeted with the familiar calculator screen ready for you to start making calculations.

When you turn on the TI-nspire, you are greeted with a screen full of menus that you can select to start doing different tasks. Another factor is that the operating system on all TI-84 calculators hasn't changed much over the years whereas the nspire's has changed a considerable amount. You will probably be able to find out how to do whatever it is you need to do on the TI-nspire, but it may take a little more digging and/or experimenting.
The TI-nspire hasn't been around for as long and isn't nearly as widely used as the TI-84. If you are not a student, there are tons of online recourses (including this website) that can teach you how to use this calculator.
If that is the case and you are a student, surely one of your teachers (or peers) would be able to tell you how to do whatever it is you are trying to do with this calculator. It is, of course, possible that you haven't used one of these calculators before. If you went to high school in the last 20 years and took any sort of math, it is likely that you used a TI-84 before. UsabilityĪs I briefly mentioned before one of the big advantages the TI-84 has when it comes to usability is the fact that it has become so common in classrooms and other places. From now on in this review, if I say TI-84 I am referring to the TI-84 Plus CE.
