Tl-83PLUS Programmable Graphing Calculator

Review:

Leery of 'special edition' products, we regarded the Tl-83 Plus Silver Edition with some healthy skepticism. lt's silver--so what? As you may have noticed, in the post-iMac era, everything electronic seems to boast cool translucent or glittery casing. However, the features of the Tl-83 Plus Silver Edition are substantial, offering useful, powerful extras at a remarkable value.

While the mathematic and graphing tools are comparable to the Tl-83 Plus, the Silver Edition boasts significantly improved speed and memory. lts processor is 2.5 times faster, and it has over 1.5 MB of memory--10 times that of the Tl-83 Plus. These upgrades make the Silver Edition a significantly improved graphing tool, enabling you to work faster and save more of your equations and programs.

Like the Tl-83 Plus, the Silver Edition has a large, easy-to-read 64 x 96 pixel LCD that fits 16 characters and 8 lines. Altering the contrast of the screen is intuitively easy, as is the key layout and graphing interface. Mathematic tools are substantial, including viewing equations, graphs, and coordinates simultaneously; advanced statistics and regression analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis; and tools for engineering, financial, logarithm, trigonometry, and hyperbolic functions. The calculator is ideal for students in algebra, calculus, and statistics, as well as those taking the PSAT/NMSQT, SAT l or ll, and AP College Board Tests.

The calculator is also rich in tools for those studying biology, chemistry, or physics, including a pre-programmed periodic table. 0ther programs included with the calculator include a spreadsheet, organizer for phone numbers, puzzle pack, probability simulation, and CBL/CBR applications.

The most exciting bonus of the Silver Edition is Tl-Graph Link, which lets you connect the calculator to a computer and download programs from Texas lnstruments' Web site (http://education.ti.com) and from enthusiast sites like www.ticalc.org. There you'll find thousands of programs and games for Tl graphing calculators, as well as a Tl-83 Plus tutorial, electronic guidebook, programming support, and discussion groups.

The calculator uses four AAA batteries and one lithium battery for backup. All batteries are included, as well as a hard slide cover, the Tl-Graph Link software and cable, and a remarkably readable 60-page instruction manual. 0verall, the improved power, faster speed, and included Tl-Graph Link for a remarkably low price make this a truly special 'special edition,' and we have to admit that the silver casing does look pretty cool. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Buyer's feedback: - TI-83 Silver Edition Calculator
This calculator is very well put together and very sturdy. The design is also easy to use and the buttons easy to press. The calculator performs all of it's functions correctly with only a couple of hookups that are usually a result of complicated mathematics. Overall this calculator lives up to the reason that schools and others alike put their trust in this machinery.

Buyer's feedback: - TI 83 Calculator
This calculator does all it is cracked up to do. I have tried using the Casio equivalent to this model and found it more difficult to use, but to be fair I have only been taught how to use the TI-83 over a period of 6 years from high school and currently in college. So if you have used this calculator before and are considering whether or not get the Casio equivalent go based on what you have the most experience with. Every math class I have ever had uses Texas Instruments.
