Hey, I need some help. I'm going to buy a graphing calculator for school tomorrow and I have narrowed it down to 2 options. The TI-83 Plus and the TI-84 Plus. Here are the things I want in a calc:

Speed
Well Known (in case I need help with anything)
Good apps have been made for it
Memory
Ease of use
Easy to transfer files (apps) from my Mac to the calc
Bang for the buck

Thanks

The 84 has alot more memory, connects via USB and come preloaded with more goodies.

^There are a couple in the appstore, but dont know if they will handle what you gotta accomplish.

[Chase817]

Yeah, I have a couple, but they are definitely not as good as the real thing

I've used both a TI-83+ and an 84+, get the 84+ if you want memory because they are both very similar, just the 84 is better all-around.

Skip the 83-84 and jump straight to the TI-89. It's by far the best calculator I've ever used.

no problem. I ended up getting a TI-89 Titanium (going outside my budget) for anyone who cares.

It's the bestest calculator ever. My TI-89 got me through college and I will rather sell my iPhone before selling my calculator <3
