Help me choose a graphing calc.
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.

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.
If I helped you, then hit the "Thanks!" button please.

Skip the 83-84 and jump straight to the TI-89. It's by far the best calculator I've ever used.
I'm a helpful jerk, fear me.

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

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 Originally Posted by Chase817

And it will be like a taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream!
