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.

Having purchased and successfully used my first scientific pocket calculator, the TI-SR-50 back in 1973, I knew that the state-of-the art TI-84+CE Graphic Calculator would be the one for my high school junior granddaughter. I was right! She likes it very much and helps her compute and solve her math and chemistry problems. It's very fast, easy to use and graphs well. It is an investment that will extend from her pre-calculus class through AP/SAT/ACT exams and into college.

My older son needed this calculator for high school. He used it all 4 years and into his freshman year at college. It’s been great and has never failed. Holds its charge a long time and must be easy to use because he has never asked for help with it. We just bought this second one for our younger son who starts high school this year. It’s pricey but it’s what is required, and I know he’ll get years of use out of it.

I wasn’t happy that with only 13 days left in my semester I was told that I needed a ti 84 calculator. I had to buy it to do a few problems on statistics and probability. There was no way I was going to be able to do it off of the lower kind of calculator. I purchased the TI 84 CE and couldn’t have been happier with the results. Math problems and I’ve struggled hours on became so simple with this calculator. At first I thought learning the Calculator was going to be just a big pain but with all the videos out there on how to work this calculator it was so simple and easy to learn and use. As much as I didn’t want to have to buy it with only a few days left of school I’m glad I did purchase this calculator and it will not go to waste because I have a child that’s about to start ninth grade and is taking algebra so I’m sure this will only help her with her math homework as well. I am very pleased with my purchase

It is great for graphing, hence the name graphing calculator. It also simplified it in decimal or fraction form when needed. It can do multiple function, and you can download programs like Pac-Man. In case you get bored in class of course. I enjoyed this calculator, because you don’t have to think about some of the sigma formulas or linear regression, because it’s all in the calculator. You can even use a scatter plot and do probability!!!
Overall it’s great!! Highly recommend it!!

I didn't do any better in Calculus with this, Darn, That was my whole plan.
But yeah it works well and It is rechargeable so no need for batteries,
I have only charged it a few times in the year i have had it.
can program it to make quadratics easier and much more.
I almost think it shouldn't be allowed on tests but I don't want to say anything.

very easy to use, no wonder the math teacher made us get one. as soon as it touched my sons hands, he new exactly how to handle it and could immediately figure out problems and show me the details of mode of operation instructions without any hesitation. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the market for a good quality device that wont burn a hole in your pocket

I purchased this calculator for my 6th grade son, who is a math wiz and needed a TI to study for test a test to skip 7th grade. It has so many amazing functions that he easily uses. The color adds a nice touch and it is SO great that we don't have to worry about batteries! There are preprogrammed pictures to apply math concepts to real world items/ situations, and you can download your own pics to do the same. It does more than get the job done, and I see my son using this through high school and beyond.

Bought this calculator to use for my college classes and it's great. It's better that the TI-84 calculator. I love the color display plus the fact that the calculator is a lot slimmer than the previous model.
This calculator is more compact since it doesn't use regular batteries but instead it has to be charged, that could be a negative however the battery lasts a little over a week with constant use.
I highly recommend this calculator for college students.

The TI TI-84+ graphing calculator has very small size which occupies less space in the school bag or on the desk. It is easy to operate. Children can read and understand the graphic easily with color graphic display. Color display can also help to reduce the student mistake. the cost is affordable. Will for sure good to purchase compared with others.

Compared to the 20 year old calculator I had before this thing is something from a science fiction movie! Math is still disturbingly difficult but this calculator is simple to use and the display is on point.

I ordered this one for my high school going daughter. Product arrived in time and it was intact. My daughter liked it so much because of the color. And sure the performance is excellent as always with TEXAS INSTRUMENTS. It's pricey but we got it in sale so the price was almost identical to the non color model. I'm happy because it made my daughter smile!!

I almost bought the ti 84 plus thinking the to 84 ce colored screen wasn't a necessary upgrade but boy was I wrong! Im finishing up my statistics class and it has been a life saver. This calculator has so many hidden/user friendly features that made this calculator easier to use and learn. The ability to charge this and never use batteries is a plus feature.

The TI-84+ CE works well and does what it says it does. Yes, it’s pricey and there are more advanced and modern options on the market, but the TI-84+ CE is highest level calculator allowed to be used on various standardized tests and seems to be the go-to recommendation for college classes. The price point reflects that. TI knows we’re a captive audience.

It's definitely not cheap. Almost as expensive as a smart phone. But the quality and functionalities of the calculator is decent. Best thing is it can be used in most exams. The colors on the CE helps a lot on the graphics.

My daughter needed this for high school Algebra. It works great, came in good condition, and has survived many drops already! I anticipate she'll be able to use this all the way through college.

If you have used a graphing calculator, this is easy to get around in and understand. Using for college math classes. Size is a little bulky but I guess it's required if you want all the features.

It's a great calculator all around. The digital display is very nice, and is really useful when you're analyzing graphs. Overall, its a very nice experience using it, over the regular TI-84. I recommend it only if it were on sale or if you could price match it (like it did); I wouldn't pay an extra $30-$40 dollars over the traditional TI-84 just for a digital display.

So your kid is in high school and you fined out yet again that this is a requirement so what do you do where do you go. Amazon almost full price and 5 days. Walmart out of stock and online more than regular full price. Target no luck. Rando online retailers good luck with getting the correct model for the correct price. Go to Best Buy and what do you know they have the current model in black and white or color at sales prices in stock and associates eager to unlock them and move you along. Thank you Best Buy. For you parents that know most kids won't use this paperweight be a good parent an go to Best Buy. For those of you that know your kid will use the heck out of this just go to best Buy and get the color version. Easy to recharge. EXACTLY what the teachers require. The planet will run out of stock every year before high school starts. Buy now!
