What's great about it: Price & Durability
What's not so great: Ease of use
I do finance tutoring. I've taught students with both calculators. I own both calculators myself.
TI Cons
The TI is not nearly as intuitive as people claim. The complexity it adds, does make it a little easier to check errors in your calculations. However, this also leads to erroneous answers if you aren't careful about resetting your registers.
TI Pros
It's inexpensive and it's durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: User friendly
As any Texas Instrument calculator that I have owned in the past, this calculator does all the functions I need it to do. I purchased this calculator for a finance class, and it has worked for all the application I have done so far. The calculator was $10.00 at Best Buy than other stores. I would suggest this calculator for other business students and anyone who is working with Time Value Money problems.

What's great about it: Easier to use than the HP equivalent; Easy to learn
What's not so great: Buttons are a little stiff; Takes some getting used to
I'm taking a Finance class and I find this calculator much easier to use than the HP-10. If you have a lot of experience with TI calculators, then this one should be fairly easy to learn. TVM keys are easy to to work and and conveniently located. My only concerns are that it doesn't feel as sturdy as my TI-84 and the buttons are a lot stiffer too. Additionally, the button placement is arranged a little differently and I constantly find myself turning the unit off when intending to clear data from the screen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Variety of financial calculations
this is a great financial calculator for any finance student or people in the financial working world. it has the ability to do just about any financial calculation (annuities, annuities due, NPV, IRR, cash flows, general investment problems and much more). it is fairly self explanitory to use and if it isnt then the paper insert on the cover will tell you most of what you need to know. the only downside i've found on this calculator was trying to find the NPV of cash flows in the billions of dollars because the calculator only goes to 10 digits and i couldnt find the 'carrot' symbol so i had to round off a few of the numbers
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: This is ideal for financial math classes, quantitative methods, etc. Plus, it is very affordable.
What's not so great: It tends to round numbers when working with decimals.
This calculator is ideal for students going through financial classes or for just working on one's budget. I am constantly calculating and recalculating various numbers and figures when it comes to debt consolidation and such. Texas Instruments has not let me down yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
