What's great about it: How it works
What's not so great: Mannual is not included.
This is the best calculate to use at the school yet. Because the teachers wouldn't want their high school students use higher quality.

What's great about it: features
What's not so great: price and practicality
My daughter needed a TI as in Texas Instruments 83,84 or 89 calculator for school. These were provided by schools in NC where she attended but not in SC where she recently moved, she is quite familiar with them. There are very few fields I can see where anyone would use any of the benefits of this device other than continued education so I question why it, specifically the TI version and brand is a requirement and taught as an independant segment. I think she was happier with the color availability more than the TI itself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing
I borrowed this calculator from my brother when I went back to college. I am taking computer engineering and electric/electronic circuits classes and this calculator does everything asked in these classes and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what this calculator is able to do. As soon as my pell grant arrives I will pick up one for myself.

What's not so great: Doesn't cook for you.
This is one of the best calculators I have purchased so far! It is a lot better than the ti-84 plus. For only $10 more the sliver edition gives you a lot more features....and i mean A LOT. you will have made a mistake if you buy just the plus and not the silver edition. I strongly recommend reading the instructions and mess around with it for a while because it is more complicated to use if you just got it. Also, unlike the Ti-84 plus, the silver edition will allow you to switch out the plate cover so you can change the color.

This is a very good calculator to buy because it can be used through high school years all the way through college as well. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is a very inexpensive number crunching machine lol. Does everything you will do in school and college.

What's great about it: Multiple functions, easier to use than a TI-89
What's not so great: It can't do your taxes :(
Everything you need for upper high school math and calculus. It has multiple functions and applications available for use. Some may say it takes a while to figure out how to use it, but any higher level calculator is going to take some getting used to because of the overwhelming amount of stuff in it. The TI-84 is not as confusing as the TI-89, and it is cheaper. In general I would recommend Texas Instruments for you calculator even if you decide to get a different version because TI's are reliable. It is a little expensive, but well worth your money.

What's great about it: It tells time, can play games
What's not so great: Heavier than TI 83. Cover harder to remove
This is a great calculator to get you through HS honors math and physics classes. Also allowed for use in SATs and ACTs and this one comes with prep downloadable work and you can send away for a free booklet. I bought this one in blue. It stands out from everyone else's silver one. I especially like that it tells time. And you can play games like Tetris on it too.
Calculators in general shouldn't be this expensive, though. My last one got stolen.

Review 11 for Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphing Calculator
Good, but TI 83 Gets Job Done, too.
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: many features, easy to use, clicky buttons don't get stuck, large screen, extra features
What's not so great: most of functions you never usually need to use, costly, color does it matter?
A lot of you will buy this for your high school (and it carries on to early college) classes, and you know, as cool and more modern as this calculator looks, the TI-83 is just as good, gets the job done, and costs less.
Let me warn you, if you are in NY state, in order to take a Regents exam that requires a graphing calculator, the proctors will ERASE the memory and all the programs on your calculator before you take it.
It has extra features like the Periodic Table. Now, for college exams, they also clear the calculator, because they do not want any act of cheating.
If you have the extra money to spend, go for it. It's chic and nice. Usually in classes, you are not taught all the different shortcuts through the calculator you can use to solve problems (often the teachers/instructors don't even know them), so unless you are planning to take an extensive course load of medium and upper level math courses in college, most features are unnecessary.

What's great about it: Easy to use, included applications are great
What's not so great: Sometimes freezes up, does not look like the picture above
I bought this calculator a month ago for my pre-calculus class, and I have to say, I was impressed. It was easy to use, and I really loved the screen capture feature of the software that was included. It allowed me to take an automatic picture of whatever was on the screen. However, after a couple weeks of use, it would start to freeze (usually in the middle of graphing), and no, I never dropped it, or mistreated it in any way. I had to restart the calculator and do the calculations all over again. Also, the picture shown above is not the same as the actual calculator if you get it from the Best Buy store. Instead of the nice shiny grey background like I expected, I got a weird looking dark grey one. There weren't any color options, the background was default for all T-84 plus silver models.
Anyways, the calculations are great, but because of the minor problems, I give it 4 stars.

If you are looking for a calculator that is useful for every math and science class, this is the one. I admit that I love the "pretty print" and "CAS" of the TI-89, but the 84 is a user friendly graphing calculator that all high schools I know about use. It is upgradeable so when TI makes improvements you can download them for FREE. The TI-84 Silver has so much memory and built in apps it is out-of-the-box ready to use and can fit all the additional APPS and programs you may want. The SAT/ACT StudyCards are excellent for preparing for those exams. In my classroom I give students additional StudyCard stacks and APPS like Timer (a stopwatch they can use for various experiments). SciTools APP can even be helpful around the kitchen and garage when I forget who many cups are in a pint or whatever.
