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

The TI-84 was really good though, it took some time to learn where everything is. The screen quality was great, and in order to learn were some of the functions were I had to search up were to find and how to use those functions. Overall, it was really good.

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!

I like keeping this thing in my holster as a scientist.

The quality is in great condition and it works very well! All though I was confused why mine came with half the battery on ? It did work great! And it fit the description and also helped me in college too! Win win win!

Amazing, good price and it works great

We needed this for my kids school,for his Maths class.The calculator is user friendly and as per my kid ,easy to use and understand.I like the color orange ,it stands out.The calculator is surely on the more expensive side

The calculator feels sturdy and solid, and the screen/keys are what you would expect. The calculator is pretty easy to navigate with some reading.

the item works well, the battery lasts a long time, and the purple color is really pretty

FAST and GREAT !!

I purchased this for granddaughter. I can tell you that she loves it. While , taking Algebra 1 as a 8th grader she has fallen in life with it. Everyday when I pick her up from school , she reminds me how much this has helped her in her Math class. Now, when she starts high school next year , she will still be able to use it in high school for geometry and then Algebra 2. Thank you ! You made life easier.
