Review 1 for Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator, TI-83 PLUS

One of the Best Calculators You Will Ever Find!

I purchased this item recently, but I have been a user of Texas Instruments calculators from a very early age. Some schools request students to use these calculators in order to relate us to graphics that will become quite useful and common in professional and academic environments. My previous calculator lasted around ten years, and it would have lasted many more years if one of my younger sisters had not taken it to go to a pool party and literally drown it. Even with water coming out of the calculator, the product still worked for a few more days. I am sure that it would have kept on working if my sister had revealed that it had been through an accident, but she omitted the information until nothing could be done with the calculator. With a blower or a hot air device, I am sure that the calculator could have kept working. Because of my great experience with this particular calculator, I bought myself a new one with the intent of keeping it around for more than ten years this time.

I brought this calculator entering high school, now im a junior in college and it has survived!! I brought it for $89.99, the last cheap one on the shelf. Best investment ever!!! Plus great price, some place wanted over $100 for the same calculator!! It was ridiculous!!! Thank goodness for walmart's low price:):):)

Have owned for 9 years now

I have owned and used this calculator for nine years now. I have NEVER had a problem with it at all. I have used it through several college courses from simple math to advanced physics. I just went ahead and bought the cord from TI that connects it to my computer about a month ago. The software is free from Texas Instruments and so are the apps that you can add or delete from this calculator. There are also many other websites you can get apps for it as well. There are hundreds to thousands of apps for this calculator! It is great. Once I took off some of the apps that I don't ever use and added apps that I will use all the time, it was like having a brand new calculator! You just drag and drop the files in the TI software that you download from the website. It's just that easy. And by the way, I paid about 100.00 for it 9 years ago and it is still about the same price. I upgraded the operating system and the apps and I'm loving it all over again. This is a very versatile calculator. I would definatly buy again.

Love this calculator! Used them all the time in middle and high school. My math tutor even showed me some neat tricks to get answers using the graph! I have had it a long time and it finally stopped working today (during my sat!!) But other than that I've had it a good 6 or 7 years, don't think I'd ever buy another cheap calculator again. Does everything I need it to. Great one, worth every penny.

I had this calculator for about 7 years when it just randomly broke the other day... the screen would go black and I was pretty bummed, but I needed another one for my economics class so I had to order a new one right away. It came on and with a fresh set of batteries... just what i needed! Im hoping it will last me another 7 years if not longer =)

This is a good calculator for statistics and that type of chart generating computation. I would NOT recommend this for any AP Calculus course since the TI-89 is far superior in that field. This one is by far the better for the statistics applications

I needed to get this calculator back in 2002 for my middle school math class, and it has survived and served me well throughout high school and now into college math. It is useful for basic math, especially for graphing, and also has the ability to do more complicated functions as they come up. I would say that this is completly worth the price because it has never once failed in the 7 years I have been using it!

My son is taking Algebra II in his Junior year of high school and this is the calculator that the teacher recommended. I was trying to purchase one that he could continue using in college. He is satisfied and it gets the job done, but he wishes that I had purchased the TI-84 instead. I guess it does a little more, and at the time I purchased there wasn't a huge price difference.

This is excellent for my son who's in middle school taking algebra. I have older sons who have the TI-84 which have more memory; but the TI-83 can be upgraded. It's a great help with graphs.

Good, but expensive

I bought this calculator for a statistics class. It was helpful, and saved me a lot of time. I did use a borrowed one more for a calculus class. The graphing calculator saved my life. However, it's expensive , especially if you need if for only one class. It is durable (I've dropped it a couple of times) and batteries seems to last a while. I do enjoy the bigger screen so I can see where I messed up. Also , because of the answer repeat function, you don't have to retype everything.
I was able to use this for binomials, graphing, matrices etc. It is a bit complicated to figure out if you don't have a manual.
Overall, a good bye although if you only need it for one class, I'd consider borrowing or buying it used.
