Which is the best option: HP Prime or Nspire CX CAS? I'm an electronic engineer.

Haven't used the HP. The Nspire cx CAS is very nice. I have no complaints. The user interface is simple enough to use for quick computation and capable enough to do a lot more. I have the TI Software but haven't tried to write my own programs yet, but this software will make it quite nice should I need to. I'm guessing you'll be working with complex numbers, matrices, linear algebra stuff and the Nspire is a champ for all of those and more. By the way, make sure you get the CAS version.

always used the hp50g, but now with the NI CAS, I do not want to come hp anymore. I recommend NI CAS

I cannot remember the behavior of the HP50G.But the HP Prime supports all 3 types of Entry: Textbook, Algebraic (CAS) and RPN.

We use Palms here in our medical offices, primarily for Epocrates (and we use Windows). We have purchased some HP iPAQs, but I hate it so much I'm going to by the TX with my CME funds.

Casio is much more intuitive Find Ti relatively clumsy. However many courses are wedded to Ti. Ti is a little faster but you would need to be very impatient to notice. Have a look at HP prime, lightning fast, cheaper, more powerful but not really tailored so well to education as the other two are and a steeper learning curve.

Hi Hector. Yes, the HP Prime has a very nice, and very fast programming language similar to other versions of Basic. It has 32 MB of "standard" memory, and 256MB of Flash memory. I've been programming it for awhile, and the amount of memory doesn't even cross my mind. It would take a huge number of very big programs to use it up. HP set it up to suggest people create "apps", which are a collection of programs, notes, and other views to create a complete application. I tend to like programming it more directly, kind of old-school style, where the programs are more stand-alone, with their own IO to get the job done. But both approaches work well. Hi Hector.

The Nspire has a built-in rechargeable battery and comes with a recharger and USB cable. The calculator will also recharge from other USB chargers or from a computer's USB port. Battery life is quite good. I've used mine for several days at a stretch without needing to recharge.

The basic answer has to do with whether or not you are interested in hobbyist computing - building yourself. Sure, a Chromebax is easier out of the box, but you have no input on what went into it. Chromebox is likely to (and probably does) include cut-rate components to save cost. With the NUC you can add the highest quality memory and SSD you can afford, if you wish.

Ok so not being that savvy (and just starting my search), which one is better in your opinion? What are the options that matter most? Thanks

I don't really know but when I went at the super to buy for a HP and a ASUS computer they told me that -R is better for one and +R is better for the other. I don't remember which one!

I owned a G1S before and if you do not care about the aesthetics, screen quality and over heating, Asus laptops give best bang-for-the-buck. Asus laptops are quite powerful, but the build quality sucks. So, this time around I have opted for HP.

The answer is yes but first of all, the TI Nspire CAS and TI Nspire CX CAS are similar but last one has color and TI Nspire CAS is monochrome. The other thing that you write is about Touch PAD not "Touch screen", because "touch screen" is a particular form to write o select directly in he screen of some equipment like tablets pc or smartphones, but "touch pad" is a standard that use the directional keys to use like a mouse, with your finger you put over and you see when the mouse appears on the screen and you can move it. I hope you understand me and sorry for my english, because isn´t my official languaje.

Any Casio fx115 series calculator would be very good through college, and I recommend it for this reason. They can stick with this calculator through college and after when they take the PE (processional engineering) exam as this is on their list of allowed calculators. This way they will always be familiar with it and its operations.

I am a system engineer and It works really good for me. You have to compare the price vs the performance so you get what you pay for.

The ES is over a year old and the UN55F7500 is much faster and better all around.You won't like the response time of the ES.

The HP Prime has a built-in rechargeable battery. My experience has been more battery life out of the AAA's than the HP.Also, you need not drag around the recharging cord. It boils down to what are the esthetics. The HP prime has a much larger set of applications.I use both, but I use the HP prime more ... also, it has an emulator that you can put up on your computer.

I own one. It weighs less than the 1000H. The screen brightness is fine -- I run it at about 50% and that's fine. When spare batteries become available, I may pick one up -- the battery is so small and light that even carrying a spare it will weigh less than the 1000h. The case does not show fingerprints, which to me was a biggie. The touchpad is better -- this is the first computer where I don't feel the need to carry a mouse. It all depends on what is important to you. For me, the lack of fingerprints, the weight difference, and the touchpad made me go for the 1002ha. If you don't mind the extra weight and fingerprints and not-as-good trackpad, if you want the extra battery life, if you really do want a brighter screen, and you want the better speakers, then the 1000h is a better choice.

I personally bought the eMachines eM250 (the exact equivalent of the Acer Aspire One D250, just rebranded) from Walmart for $228 by seeing it in the computer cage up in Maine. The EXACT same thing except WITH a bigger harddrive (250gig). Personally I love it, and even though the keys are slightly cramped (89%), I didn't want to deal with the Dell touchpad which is a pain in the butt. I'm a computer guy, and I played with it in a Staples to see if I liked it, but no thanks. Also the Acer/eMachines is a breeze to upgrade the RAM. Just remove a screw, pop out the 1 gig, and put in a 2 gig. So if I may, I would suggest stopping by Walmart to see if you can get lucky like me. Has a cool brushed nickel look to it too (but its plastic). I've put it through the ringer, and it is surpisingly pretty powerful!
