I don't know anything about this calculator, but my fifteen year old son needed it for school and he likes it. Per him - It does everything he needs in his math class, plus he can play games on it and make cartoons!
I guess that is okay as long as he is making A's.

I got this Calculator for middle school and it RULZ. I have had to deal with many formulas in my Algerbra class and entering the formulas on a regular calc can be much to time consuming. With the TI84, I just write a program in BASIC and, Presto! Instant answers. Now I am lightyears ahead of the class. Another great thing is that the TI84 comes with a USB cable allowing you to download games to your calculator. ***Don't Play Games In Class*** My sub thaught I had a Game Boy and was ready to take the thing away. ;-) The USB cable is also compatable with the PSP and many Video recorders. An investment that really paid off. A must get for Algerbra I and beyond.

I am on my third TI-83+ (my first two were stolen). My brother owns an 84, and I can tell you that it offers nothing that the 83 doesn't have. Many of the preloaded apps are useless (an address book? please!), and take up so much space that the memory increase is worthless. The 84 is a continuation of TI's tendency to offer huge amounts of style with little or no substance. I prefer the 83 for its streamlined design. The one improvement is that the slip cover on the 84 does not become loose with a great deal of use, which is a problem I have encountered with my three 83s. It looks as though the USB connectivity could be a plus (for the 83, you had to buy a separate connectivity kit to connect to a PC), however, most buyers will not need to connect their calculator to their PC.

Since I am in the higher math, I really needed a graphing calculator. So we saved up some money and got this.... and it helps so much! I don't really have anything to compare it too.... it is good for people in algebra and up though. and just fun to mess around with :D

This calculator is hands-down the best I have ever had the honor of using. While the TI-84 Plus may not have as much space or as many pre-loaded Apps as the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, the TI-84 Plus offers everything a high school (possibly some college) math student needs in order to successfully learn and solve mathematics material. The TI-84 Plus comes loaded with several Apps that will make things even more convenient, such as a Probability Simulator and Cabri Jr., a great geometry app. Student looking to upgrade from the TI-83 Plus will find comfort in the fact that the TI-84 Plus is 2.5x faster and has 3x the memory than the TI-83 Plus. The TI-84 Plus is also extremely easy to hook up to your computer to transfer new Apps and updates to it using the USB port and the included USB cable. The TI-84 Plus will be a great investment for any student's education.
