Everything we wanted from this product.
I'm in high school and currently taking Pre-Calculus and in a month I'm starting AP Calculus. While in high school, I was enrolled in an early college program. I've managed to ace my College Statistics, Geometry, Algebra without the help of any Texas Instrument calculators. Got by with a simple scientific calculator.
But Pre-Calc is a different matter. We were required to use TI 84 Plus Silver Edition. And I'm glad I learned how to use it before heading off to college. I just know that this handy device is going to save me tears when it's time for College Calculus.
STARTING:
I'm still learning how to use the device. It can get a little overwhelming at first because of the many buttons and the many functions. Yes, it is intimidating and yes, it is a little complicated.
But be patient, read the manual or get the book TI 84 for Dummies.
THE PRICE:
I do agree that it is very pricey, especially for student budget. It can really hurt your meager student savings, like it did mine. But this is a good investment, especially if you are planning to major in something involving a lot of math.
THE LOOK:
Not bad. It's silver so it looks a bit more elegant than the previous black TI Calculators. There's also other colors to choose from like pink, blue, purple and orange. No matter how much tempted I am to buy the girly pink TI84, I settled for a neutral silver because I might decide to bequeath it to someone else if I purchase a new one later on.
It is a little bulky and heavy for me. But one thing I can say for it is that it is tough. Mine hit the concrete floor about 3 times already. It sustained a little scratch but that is it.

calculator
Nice size, easy to see keys, good for advanced high school or college math classes. Bought it for my son. 2008-10-06
Great product!
I bought this for my daughter in college. She said it is perfect for her accounting class and works well hooked up to the computer.
Everything we wanted from this product.

Highly recommended.
This calculator was worth the money. I wish such a tool existed when I was going through school. I purchased it for my daughter and it should get her all the way through college. 2008-10-03
Cheaper Elsewhere
I bought this calculator for my daughter in high school at a cost of $114. Before it was shipped, my wife found it at Walmart for $79. The only diffrence was that it was not the silver edition. I believe that means that the $79 one is black instead of silver. If the color dosen't matter to you, I'd buy it from Walmart. 2008-09-23
College students, meet your new best friend
You can't know how invaluable this little thing is until you have to take the dreaded Calculus.
