I have one and I encourage anyone looking for a modern calculator to buy one. One of the best purchases I have ever made. Happy to answer any questions.

  How would you compare it with a TI Nspire or similar calculators. In other words why Numworks? What is special about it? My use case is high school students, if you have any thoughts on that.

    Hi! My answer is obviously going to be biased, but I think our calculator is very different from a TI Nspire. We actually designed it with high school students in mind. We interviewed a lot of them, and we reached the conclusion that on average they were using less than 10% of the features of their calculator. So we designed ours trying to make it as intuitive as possible. You'll notice it borrows from gaming consoles and mobile phones: that's because high schoolers already know how to use those! As an example that might seem like a minor detail, we're the only graphing calculator on the market with anti-aliasing. It might not sound like much, but it's a lot of work to get right and that's the kind of detail we like to pay attention to. Anyway, you can judge by yourself: our (free) simulator is just a click away: https://www.numworks.com/simulator https://www.numworks.com/simulator

      Having that simulator is absolute awesome! The fact that this product was merely mentioned in a comment and the you showed up here is the true magic of HN. It always amazes me again when it happens.
