My wife is going back for her MBA. This calculator is so much better than the one I had 10 years ago in high school.

This was just what my grandson needed for his class. I can’t say enough about purchasing through Best Buy. When I found out he needed one, I had my daughter send me pictures of what was required for his class. I found it on the Best Buy website, sent her a picture of it and let her know it would be delivered the next day. Which was great in itself, but it gets better. She called me and asked if I could cancel my order, I asked her why. She said it is online $30 cheaper at Walmart. I said no, I did not have to cancel my order because Best Buy would price match. This is why I am a repeat customer at Best Buy, their customer service.

Needed this for class and it was ready for pickup in less than a day and works great. Loved how it was 50 bucks cheaper than other stores too.

This is an expensive piece of necessary equipment in more advanced mathematics. We are hoping the color display adds to the utility and isn’t just a gimmick. We like that the battery is rechargeable as it should hopefully save batteries from the trash heap and help reduce environmental pollution. It does look like these newer models are more locked down software-wise which we don’t think we like since it limits opportunities for learning and experimenting.

Ok so the calculator itself is great for what it's designed to do. The Python integration is neat, though pretty cumbersome on the unit. It's not meant for massive coding. Write code on a PC and transfer it. The color display is quite a nice upgrade from earlier monotone models. The main problem i have is that the hardware components are extremely old at this point and those parts have lowered in cost significantly since it's debut. But the customer price remains high. Now, throw in that it's using a long dead usb-b mini connector, with ti not even bothering to update that too the last generation micro style let alone usb type c. Can't even easily find the first generation mini type b anymore. At this point it should be sold only with usb type c if they are going to be over charging students. Thing is too that there are graphing calculator apps that will run on $40 phone hardware. But those aren't allowed on exams. So they take extreme advantage in over pricing. The menu flow has always been a bit convoluted. And I'm not sure why there isn't an equal character in the main alpha keys for programming.

We purchased this for my daughter's math classes. What can you say...it is a calculator on steroids. It works well and I am sure that she has not used all the function, but I think that it will take her through her college years and beyond if need be.

Clear screen but it easy to scratch due to the glossy finish. Perfect for precalc and calc. Nice and slim and love the rechargeable aspect but i just wish it used a readily available micro usb rather than an old mini usb charger. My only complaint is that its prone to scratches all over including the screen. Mine had a slight scratch next to each physical button upon opening the original packing. I suspect that each key is tested and the person who tested it, marked each key with a scratch. Kinda annoying but it works great.

You literally can't do Calculus without this. Needing to plot multiple lines on a graph, being able to distinguish them by color is the only way to do differentiate the lines at times. I've had this product for a couple years now and it still has excellent battery life, takes a charge quickly, and is probably the best investment I've made in my University career to day.

Got this for my Math 242 class and it is such a great tool! Easy set up and once you start to use the functions they become like second nature. Price is hefty but it definitely does help with classwork and understanding math. Battery also lasts a really long time.

The purchase was made as a gift for a college student taking elementary statistics. I am a retired mathematics and science teacher and I highly recommend Texas Instruments' products. TI stands behind the workmanship and if you have difficulty with manipulations, you can always call the company.

Perfect for the student who is struggling with Algebra 2. We used this calculator for factoring, graphing, and several other sections in the Algebra class and it was very helpful. This was an extremely beneficial purchase.

This calculator is exactly what I needed for college math. I previously had the TI-83 and that is a great calculator but this one goes a couple steps ahead with a color screen! This may seem like no big deal but the color comes in handy when you need to graph multiple things at once, because you can clearly see which is which when they’re different colors! It also charges through USB which is nicer for me than changing out batteries. It is super easy to use and there are all kinds of tutorials on YouTube and other places to show you all of the things it can do beyond simple math. The functionality of this thing is incredible! I would recommend it to anyone going into any sort of advanced high school or beyond math, and you probably won’t ever need anything else!

I used this calculator for my Pre Cal./ Trig college course as well as Stats. I even used it for Chemistry. I love how many functions it has and that once you know how to use the menus it is easy to work with. The color that now comes in this model is also so helpful when having to graph many data sets to compare them.

It is what it is, but the color screen and rechargable battery is very nice. TI stands behind their products as well, which is nice so if you have issues with the batteries, as the first batch of 84 CE did, it was nice to not have to worry with what TI would do. Well worth the purchase.
