Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphing CalculatorCustomer Review: Very good calculator Summary: 4 Stars
Alright, i am writing this review based on a first hand experience with it. I am currently a sophomore in high school, and i must say for a graphing calculator, this one is very good. I like it because its easy to use, and it has a lot of functions that will help you on nearly any problems, whether it comes from algebra 1 to geometry and even to AP Calculus, this calculator is good. Some people don't like TI, or don't like the calculator but if you can just get past the name, you really will find out that this is a quality made calculator.Personally, my school can only lend the TI 83 calculators, and i have to say, those are not as good as the TI 84 With the TI 84, there is more clarity in the image it shows, and the colors (yes the colors) look good. You can find things easily and if you need help, you just consult the manual that came on the disk for the software. I am a computer fanatic and i do find the software lacks some things, but for software that connects with a calculator, it gets the job done. You can back up all Apps, RAM and everything in the archive so if you loose everything on the calculator, you can just restore it. I also found how to get cool learning games (and some not so educational... YAY RACING!) and i find them very neat, its a great thing to have in the class, and in the middle of study hall. Another thing that i know most people don't know about, is that you can customize it in many different ways! Different ways to cusomize it: a customizable faceplate, and a start-up screen that you can make or get from an image. It also comes preloaded with an organizer so you can keep track of important dates. I hope this review helped some people, and frankly this is what all the schools are using now, so its good to have your own to learn off of and to utilize in the classroom.
So overview:
**PROS**
--------
A lot of different functions for almost any class, even science classes!
Pre-loaded with a bunch of different apps, and bi-lingual support.
Easy to use and navigate menus.
Easy to use software and support.
Tons of apps available for download.
Clean interface
**CONS**
--------
Missing some features in the software
Missing a cool carrying case, i would love a leather one.
Can be somewhat slow when dealing with more than 4 equations, and graphing them.
Sorta pricey, thank goodness it was a gift from my father. I would've gone broke for a while if i bought this on my own!
