Numworks N0120 Calculator Show and Tell

Bought a new Numworks graphing calculator primarily for the on board Python aspects. Here is a short video on my experiences getting started with it.

Thanks for the unboxing and overview, looks like a really handy calculator to add to any collection.

[@concretedog7427]

I think my "unboxing" was a bit lacklustre! But you're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@AndyCPugh]

That might find a way into my calculator collection one day.

[@concretedog7427]

Its a pretty interesting one for sure!

I wish there were more programming language options. The HP Prime G2 has the same problem. On the TI-Nspire CX you have Lua, a variation of Python and TI-BASIC. Not everyone has access to jailbreaking tools to run C applications on the Nspire and NumWorks. This machine has a lot of potential by running over twice faster than the previous NumWorks n0110, but I wish python's heap was higher than 64 KB.

[@concretedog7427]

Yeah, I agree. It's great if you just want to play with python but it's a shame it's so locked down.

[@ultratale1649]

Im quite new on calculators, but if you'd like to have more programming options/focus on coding, why would you not just use a pc, its not like your going to code much on the calculator itself.

They should produce another version without the lock-down but in a very distinct colour so it would be easy to spot in an exam hall. It is a huge pity that all modern calculators are hobbled to meet education requirements. I really miss the good old days when calculators were made as good as the chips and displays of the time allowed for a professional market! Colour displays are another regret well illustrated on this video as the display has to distractingly blink off after a timeout period to avoid the battery drain.

[@concretedog7427]

Yes I absolutely agree on the idea of a different colour version for non exam use. It's a shame this is a little locked down. I don't mind the colour display but I take your point.

[@tomlake2732]

This would've been much more useful if you had discussed the new features of the N0120 and comparison with the N0110 and N0100

[@concretedog7427]

I've only owned the N0120 so it would have been false for me to do this, also I was asked to do an unboxing and review of this item.

[@al3mat]

Where have you found the N0120 version?

[@concretedog7427]

They were on offer on Amazon UK.

[@joltiix]

Where did you purchase the N0120?

[@concretedog7427]

The numworks website wouldnt deliver to the UK so I ended up ordering via Amazon.

[@joltiix]

@@concretedog7427 Did you use Amazon UK?

[@joltiix]

And do you mind sending a link? Thank you!

[@concretedog7427]

@@joltiix So I did use Amazon UK and I paid £89 but on checking today I can't see them listed that cheap, I can only see them offered at about £150.. I realise I must have got a black friday type price.

@@concretedog7427 On Amazon: 160€, on their site 99€...Weird!

[@vipjip1458]

is there a way to cheat a test when on exam mode?

[@therkler1704]

did u find out?

[@poweruser64]

No. Cheating is for losers.
