The TI-84 Plus Keypad is more than just a replacement of the original TI-Nspire Keypad. It emulates the keystrokes and functionality of the previous TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators. This allows the use of the TI-Nspire on exams permitting just the TI-83 Plus based calculators like SAT and ACT.
Texas Instruments achieved the 100% compatibility by storing even the well known TI-84 Applications into the operating system:
•
Cabri® Jr.
• Inequality Graphing
• Periodic Table
• Probability Simulations
• Science Tools
• StudyCards™
• Transformation Graphing
• CBL2™/CBR2™
• Vernier EasyData™
The TI-84 Plus Keypad supports with its integrated connector the TI-Navigator™ system, the TI Connect software and the 2nd-generation CBL 2™ (Calculator-Based Laboratory) and CBR 2™ (Calculator-Based Ranger).
To
reduce theft of school-owned TI-Nspire's a
"school bus yellow" edition
is available.
Texas Instruments announced on March 8, 2010 the new TI-Nspire
Touchpad and Operating System 2.0. The new OS 2.0, including the TI-84 Plus
Silver Edition 2.54MP, was released for this TI-Nspire with Clickpad, too.
Exam acceptance:
Since the TI-Nspire with TI-84 Plus Keypad lacks a QWERTY keyboard it is permitted (as of September 27, 2007) for use on SAT, ACT, PSAT and AP exams.
