Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Graphing Calculator, Black

The shipping was amazing and I got it right before a test I really needed the calculator for. All of the things that were described in the description were included and the calculator functions well. I would definitely buy and recommend purchasing calculators from Syracuse Calculators because they give you awesome deals for calculators that you need.In terms of how the product works, I have to say that I prefer the good old TI-84 silver edition than this more updated version.The color screen on the calculator is great, and typing in exponents are pretty great on this calculator as well, which is mostly what many of the classes I have to take seem to venture towards eventually, but the speed of the calculator when you type in the simplest thing to solve, 1+1, it seems to lag and slow down a bit before you can actually get the answer. I know that this isn't a big deal and you could just be patient for a couple of seconds until the answer pops up, but when you are taking a timed test......ugh, it gets annoying. >:(That said,don't think that it takes like five minutes before you get an answer,lol; it only takes like a couple of seconds vs. the older models which give you an answer ASAP.Another thing I do like very much about this calculator is that you can just charge it. I don't have to do out and buy some batteries every time they need some....Anyways, Thank you Syracuse Calculators for your great service!

Great calculator, I've used mine for a year now, in Algebra II, moving on to Pre Calc. If for any reason mine should break, I'll definitely get another to replace it.Pros:-The functionalitis are endless, and with the right programs, you can do just about anything wit this calculator.-The extra pixel display on the screen makes it super easy to read as opposed to the regular ti-83's and 84's, no more decoding ultra pixel font.-I just feel cooler with a color screen.-No need to worry about batteries, just don't lose the usb cable.Downsides:-There's a bit of a lag when some graphs load, it takes longer than some of the simpler graphing calculators.-Do NOT let the calculator reach 0 battery life, or the ram will be erased, warning-There are less pre-existing apps and special programs for this calculator, if you want to sit around and play pokemon instead of doing actual math, don't get this calculator.Overall, super great, and it doesn't even cost much more than the ti-84's, spend the extra $20 and get the better calculator, it's totally worth it.

Fast shipping and this calculator does exactly what we need it to do.

I recently enrolled in a math course that required a graphing calculator. The professor didn't require any certain one, but did recommend the TI-84 as a solid option. I recall using a TI-83 back in high school over a decade ago, so I felt confident in sticking with the brand. I chose the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, and couldn't be happier with my purchase. Much less bulky than the graphing calculators I've used in the past, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition has a sleek design and rests easily in your hand. The color screen adds so much to the graphs and makes them so much easier to interpret. The keys and functions are much more intuitive than any calculator I've used in the past. It doesn't take a significant amount of time to charge, and it holds that charge for quite awhile (I'm two months into the semester and have not had to recharge it, yet!). All in all, it's a sound investment, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I've had this calculator for 2 months and there are a lot of problems. Do not buy this calculator if you value speed, simplicity, and reliability. It will work for slow, high-school calculations but cannot handle college-level, calculation-intensive functions.I've been using TI graphing calculators all my life, but recently purchased the color TI84 since I lost my old black and white TI84. This new calculator is pretty horrible and doesn't fit my needs at all because although they increased the resolution and have colors, the company did not change the processor. Therefore simple calculations like 1+1 take significantly longer to appear on the screen because the processor is slower to refresh the higher resolution display.In addition, programs (even the simplest ones) take about 3 seconds to load, let alone run (compared to ~.5 on a B&W TI83 or 84).Parenthesis and equation conventions have changed. TI thought it would make lives simpler by "intuitively" doing parenthesis for you, but in doing so, just made the overall accountability of parenthesis-heavy calculations more confusing and unnecessarily annoying. For example, doing e^(xyz)*(123) on a regular B&W TI would automatically put the "123" as a multiplier of the exponent, which is conventional in the order of operations, but on the TI84C, you must manually specify which term is the exponent and which is the coefficient, which does nothing but make the calculation more confusing. On multiple occasions, I've entered an equation and have it output completely wrong answers even when the equation on the display is accurate. The problem arises from the calculator automatically judging order of operations for the user.Lastly, and possibly most frustratingly, typing in equations too quickly will cause the calculator to not register certain keystrokes, which is never never an issue on a B&W TI83/84. I believe it is because the processor takes so long to refresh the screen after keystrokes that pressing a button during this refresh phase will cause the device to ignore that input.As an engineering student, speed and reliability are incredibly important when performing calculations. When this calculator trades speed, reliability, and accuracy for some bad color and resolution upgrades, the calculator becomes a last resort.
