Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Graphic Calculator

I bought 2 of these actually, the first cause i needed a calculator, the second because my first one got stolen. That should say two things, one that it is good enough to be stolen, and two that it is good enough for me to buy a second one.

For the money, this calculator is a great deal. It has plenty of memory, great screen clarity, great battery life, and the controls are fairly easy to get used to.

There are plenty of games you can find to add to the calculator, also its data cable is a simple mini-usb cable so if it doesn't come with one, or you loose it, its very easy to replace.

This calculator has almost 8 times the memory that the TI-83 has which means you can store more games, apps, and files on this calculator then the previous TI-83.
The TI-84 plus has great screen clarity, its very easy to read during low light situations and outdoor light situations.

Texas Instruments is the most popular brand of graphing calculators currently out there which means that you can transfer files between pers easily, and you can figure out problems easier than if you had a no name brand.

All in all, the TI-84 is a brilliant addition to the Texas Instuments Graphing Calculator family, and a worthwhile tool to anybody in school or work.

Hope it helps!

I bought two TI-84 calculators, one for my son in college and he told me this was suitable for his calculus needs.

I bought the second one for my daughter who is taking AP Calculus at high school and she said the next model the Titanium 89 has more features but the 84 is better because at the AP Test speed is critical and the following model requires more steps and you loose speed; I recommed this model for High School students and while it is usefull at college also I rate this graphic calculator as excellent.

This calculator is a step up from early versions. it has a few more functions than previos models and actaully has a better screen and style. I reccommend this calculator, since i have had mine for 3 years and its still kickin,,,, VEry Sturdy!

Yeah pretty much. All the functions of a TI-83 are there but it happens to be in a different housing.

The major separating point aside to the cosmetics would be the memory as it nearly has 3 times the 83's but what other applications do you really need to use up all the memory?

I used this in high school algebra and calculus and found it to be a must. I upgraded to the 89 of course and never turned back.... (Yes the 89 is by far better).

This calculator is great for high school, SAT's, ACT's, and other standardized tests. It helped me in chemistry, and physics as well. I highly recommend this for the average high schooler but for the money, the ti-89 would be something one should look into.
