RE: My HP Prime G2 review.
Yeah, the CX II family has the same amount of RAM and Flash as the CX "I" family. It's therefore even more infuriating that the Nspire Basic graphics drawing capabilities, which have been clamored by users for 12 years (since the beginning of the Nspire series) because drawing pixels is a basic feature for a calculator, will only be provided on the CX II. Indeed, unlike what they did with the older Clickpad / Touchpad models, they announced that they'd quit updating the CX I OS immediately now that the CX II is available, apart of course for interoperability fixes with the CX II's communication protocol and also closing the vulnerabilities used by Ndless... It seems that the CX II's communication protocol is derived from another protocol never previously reverse-engineered because it was used only by school equipment.

On the CX I, they haven't even maxed out any of the CPU, or the amount of RAM, or the amount of Flash memory. I know that some of their designs and coding are extremely poor, e.g. the insanely heavyweight XML soup inside proprietary compression and encryption they use for documents, and the fact that on the older TI-68k series, their whole graphics stack traded performance for genericity - but still.

Oh, and other pieces of the CX II ASIC are different enough from the CX I ones that the CX II OS can't run on the CX II without major surgery.
