Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphing Calculator (Pink)Customer Review: This is a perfect calculator Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great example of a product that only does one thing, and does it well. It isn't a PDA/cellphone/MP3 player hybrid whatchamacalit, it is a calculator. The screen is easy to see, and the contrast can be adjusted to improve visbility. The buttons are large. I rarely hit a button I wasn't intending to.
If you are thinking about upgrading from a TI-83 you definitely should. I am math tutor, so I am very familar with both models. The TI-84 is loaded with useful applications that can't be found on the 83. For instance, the TI-84 has an application that allows you to graph and shade inequalities. It is a great application that makes it easy explain inequalities to students. You can also load flashcards on it with simple graphics, and even design quizes.
I love the color. It is a nice soft pink that is very pretty. I've seen the calculators that are all pink and I think they are ugly. The all pink calculators are a dark purpely hot pink that is just glaring and ugly. The combination of soft pink and grey on this calculator is much more feminine and stylish. The cover also has a neat retro design.
At first I thought it seemed kind of spendy for a calculator, but I have been very happy with this purchase.
A word of warning to math students. Don't just assume that any ole scientific calculator will do. If the instructors says to get a TI-83/84 they mean it. Other scientific calculators don't have the same functionality and it can really put the student at a disadvantage. You can use EITHER the TI-83 or TI-84, but it needs to be one of those, and the TI-84 is worth the investment.
