Yes, I already know that there is another topic about this already but the list is kind of really outdated. Since then, new calculators have now arrived with new capabilities to counter the competitors. Which do you think is better?

By the way, I have also found an interesting story from a guy from Saltire Software (The same company that writes the CAS software for CASIO): http://www.eschoolne...?ArticleID=4805

Hi CFX Master,

I am very interested in this "high-speed calc". But befor buying it, can you please check the speed of it with the program in the "speed comparison" topic? My problem is, that there is no standard test to compare the calcs program execution speed for the basic instrunctions. The most tests I found, like a simple loop test, are not really convincing.

That guy, Brian Maguire... Is Softcalc
The world is a small ball, for sure

btw the HP50G is the same as old 49's without hardware issues (?), and the new TI would kick all the previous calcs made.. 8mb RAM.. I'm so scared!. Casio will update the classpad soon?, is clear that the 2003 CP hardware is a bit updated against the newer Nspire CAS+ . (processor + RAM + Flash, the remaining is OK). I hope for a CP2 with plenty power, 200 or more Mhz processor, more than 10mb of ram, the 5 MB flash are OK, SD card support.... and capabilities to run PDA software

LOL.

Well, it seems the fx-9860 is in the lead. I would have thought that either TI-89 or ClassPad would have done better.

Hmmm, I came back and the fx-9860 is still in the lead!
