the HP prime does not have 32mb of ram but 256mb and 512mb of rom and is much, much faster in calculations than the nSpire CX II CAS or the Casio Prism (Hp Prime G2 - 2AP18AA, if it is to be compared let it be with the model most current) Not to mention Prime's touch display that makes usability a lot easier.
@@madmax2069 But this is a 2022 buyer's guide, and the G2 was introduced in 2016. There should not be a buyer's guide for 2022 discussing hardware that was replaced 6 years before!
Even counting that it's still faster than the nSpire CS II CAS'...... the PRime G2 just pouring salt on the computational power wound on the nSpire CX II CAS.
Actually he's reviewing a G1 version of the Prime from 2014. So, he is correct. Woefully outdated, but correct. And if you found this review informative, stay tuned for my review of the "Cleveland Institute of Electronics" slide rule. Absolutely the latest thing in slide rules!
To ppl reading here, this is not a good video. there are many problems. they use old outdated calculators that have been surpassed by newer iterations. they give wrong specs of all of the calculators, fail to use the right name for the plus ce ti84, and they even called the tinspire cx ii a "casio" calculator. many of the pros and cons are just not relevant either, such as the user manual of the ti84+ce (no one reads those, most are learning from tutorials or their classrooms) id find a different video or review and not base any potential purchases on this bad video.
UM.... you literally put the Nspire CX above the CXII, yeah you explicitly say CAS with that one, but you mentioned the cas functionality in the description (in addition to calling it a Casio at one point) not indicating there are cas and non cas versions, same with your number one, your number 1 does have one major advantage though, you can find them used at a considerable discount over the CXII models.
I think HP Prime is not valued as it should be, perhaps because it has no popularity and no time in the market also hp prime is more difficult programming and is not easy find tutorials as for Texas The characteristics are better than a inpire ii
would you say the numworks calculator is good enough for a high level maths and computer science student, budget is quite a factor too. The numworks looks very good but I’m still somewhat on the edge, you seem to know something or two?
Error at 7:47 & 8:04. You are showing a Ti, but calling it a Casio. You need to re-voice that part. Also, a one pound + weight was mentioned for an earlier calculator, so at least 3 errors. You need to pay more attention to accuracy and less to promo. Not impressed with this video.
If in 🇪🇺 look no further than Numworks graphing calculator. Much faster than any of the ones in this video, costs only 90 EUR, approved all over EU. Designed in France.
If TI wants you to spend so much on the CX II, don't you think they ought to know what CX stands for in the first place, especially if they care so much. Nobody in Dallas could tell me. Do you or any of your viewers know?
This video is beyond disappointing. The information as well as the shown pictures are mostly wrong. The HP Prime is discussed in the G2 version, but some images of the first generation are shown. Even worse with the supposed 1st place. The TI Nspire CX CAS (now obsolete) is discussed and pictures of the normal CX (without CAS) are shown. Please research better. I work with Nspire CX CAS myself, but I have to say that the HP Prime, no matter which version, beats the TI and all the others by far. Anyone who is familiar with these devices will see the HP Prime at number 1.

Wish i could down vote this review more. Sure if you are just getting a calc for class then you should get whatever your teacher allows, which is why i have about 7 different calculators. >:-( (Each math teacher in college had different "requirements" as to what they would allow.) To be honest, the Ti-89 titanium was/is one of Ti's best calcs, the inspire really is a downgrade. I would use that thing everywhere. Then i got the nspire CX II cas, man was i disappointed, it really feels like the only thing they upgraded was processor speed. Everything feels more convoluted, why did anyone want a document style interface? Sure if you are going to add your results to a report maybe it will be useful, but it's annoying, everything you go to do is behind a multitude of key-presses, heck most operations I use I have to look up in the library. This is not ideal, and honestly I find myself dreading using it. Now the HP prime, i recently got one, and i can say it's a relief. Wish i had known before hand you can just download an app to pretty much any major OS and use it right there, with both free and paid versions. For most people the free version is more than enough, and you will never need the paid version. But if you need any of the paid version features they are there, and while i haven't tried them I'm told it upgrades the free version to the same as the physical calc. (Also I've tested the free version on my cell, and in it calculates faster than the physical calculator, on my now ageing note 9.) But for the actual calculator, it works great, fairly easy to use though it did take a bit of getting used to from the Ti background, (feels like HP did a better job making sure the equation editor work more smoothly than Ti.) my only gripes are that the viewing angle of the screen feels bad colors are washed out when viewed from below, which is a typical viewing position, when using the calc. And I wish they had separated the prenkeys. But overall these are minor gripes. as the calc works great, so far i've only found one thing that TI does better than hp and that is complex solving with absolute values. Other than that it seems the HP prime is as good or better at everything. Heck it even has lapase and fourier transforms for Electrical Engineers. (Yes, this is the calc I'd recommend for aspiring EE's out there. Ti wont help you here.) Now for the thing that really makes the HP prime better, TI is focused on school. It's like they never expect you to use this thing once you leave college. After you are out in the field their calcs are more of a hindrance. This is where the HP prime excels, it just works better. You don't need additional licenses to use your calc with multiple computers, the buttons are laid out in a way that is actually useful, and the calc is fast enough to not drive you and your boss nuts while you wait for an result. If you do need it for a class. It's test mode is more customizable, they can limit whatever they don't want you using for the test, and a nice LED lets them know you kept the mode on the whole time. The only real major downside, is that there are not a lot of tuts on youtube for how to use it. (This review is after having the Ti-nspire for a couple of years and the HP prime for a couple of weeks.)
CG50 looks great for what it is but it doesn't have CAS so it doesn't directly compete with the HP Prime or TI nSpire CX CAS. Casio's Classpad *does* but the newest model is *10 years old* so I'm worried they stopped working on it entirely. I really hope they didn't because I always thought it looked amazing, just... slow.
I had a airport cell phone function put on a removable case for a new function to be replayed during a relapse that idea caused & now fresh out my 20's I remembered about my timeshare property it was achieved on.... thanks
The only 1 worth buying is the HP. I've owned Casio and TI. They are junk. I have a HP-11C thats getting on to 35 years old and still works great. You want cheap, buy the others. As the saying goes....You get what you pay for ! For the Ti, who cares about the colors......Green make's it work faster. Algebraic notation is for people that can't think. This review....Top 5 best selling !
I get that everyone is upset about the hp prime, but tbh the ti-84 is the best one here, it has by far the most add ons and is essentially a programming device, it has the best games on it (better than nspire CX) and is 100% #1.

Saying that the Prime is number five in this competition, prooves they have not tested it enough. The Prime is in its own league!
Yea, and they are recommending the G1 version which is slower than the updated G2 version.
I have used all the calculators mentioned in this video, and for me, the HP Prime should be number one hands down.

casio is the obvious best because it is so cheap, colored, makes all of the Radicals simplified and has many modes as compared to TI and other models!

There is a CX || CAS. 💩💩💩💩
no no no the ti nspire cx ii cas is a 2019 device that is newer and much better then the 2011 ti nspire cx cas
Wtf am I doing here
Bad video, many factual errors. Prime is best. And how is the CX II worse than the original CX!? Low effort and misleading
... outside of test/exam situations, why would you still need this? Your phone can do all the same things now and much more.
For convenience when calculating complex equations especially w multiple operators. If time is a constraint anyway
