Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Color Graphing Calculator, Black 7.5 Inch

Got this for a family member who needed it for a class. He really likes it. It has plenty of bells and whistles, will last from Algebra 2 to Pre-Calculus. Also came with a code for an online calculator.

This is a great calculator, just try and buy it from another source. Shipped with tiny little wire that requires the most obscure adaptor you won’t find anywhere. Unless you have a laptop with a mini USB port don’t bother here.

An excellent step forward for Texas Instruments, and a powerfully intuitive tool for any business or STEM, student or professional. Dear reader, I recently started business school and a TI or Casio business level or higher calculator is mandatory for lectures and homework. However the TI family of graphing calculators are much easier to use, and offer much more functionality for real world business applications than the TI-BA II Plus or Professional models. This model, the TI-84 Plus CE offers the same extensive programability that the the TI graphic family off calculators has offered for the past 20 years, however it is much more flexible and performs tasks faster with a more clean and simple to operate, user experience. I am also an owner of a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition (the see through model with silver tone and a B/W screen) and the TI-BA II Plus. Yes, the color screen may be seen as a novelty for someone who doesnt really need or understand the usefulness of such a device; but for someone who is processing real business, geometric or scientific calculations this calculator makes the user more comfortable and competitive because of these evolutionary new features; at last, thats what it did for me. As long as the user clearly understands and practices the process of how to enter data and operate the many tools within the calculator, the user will see an immediate value in using this newer model verses older models. As a business student I quickly and easily programmed this calculator in advance before using this new model in my math class. I programed it to perform, Lower Case Letters, Distance Formulas, Factoring Polynomials, Quadratic Functions and Systems of Liner Equations; easy math for some, but not for me. On the first day of using this new model in my class, I came up with several correct answers faster than any student in the class and because if the functionality of the calculator I was able to quickly understand, repeat, and explain each step of how I got the correct answer. - Yes, in one word: Competitive ! PS: In regard to the color you choose for the body, I would avoid the mid gray toned models. This is because the gray plastic body provides little contrast to the light blue and light green ink printed text on the body of the calculator, thus making the text harder to read. When accurate data entry is a big part of the value of this product, I took this in to serious consideration and decided to purchase the black model. If I could buy the yellow educators model I would, yellow or blue really are my colors. Once I started using the black model, I was more than pleased with the glossy black face and the off white color of the body. This model looks and feels like a smart, sexy, bespoke limousine for a calculator. Thats cool!

This will come in handy in graphing classes in our grandsons Senior year.

He likes it and easy to use. He was able get his work done

I had gotten nervous thinking it couldn’t been a scam but I got what I paid for. My calculator came new and ready to use and the color that I asked for. Would definitely purchase again!

DOES NOT COME WITH A CHARGING CABLE....SO make sure you already have it, or order one...

Good quality

This is a great & easy calculator for my statistics class!!

I ordered the Iris purple one for my daughter - and there was no slide cover included in the package as other reviews have shown
