Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator
Digital camera Review: An Excellent High school-college calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
The TI-83 Plus is the best graphing available that is eligible to use on the ACT. It has some great features, my personal favorite is the programming. After a little practice you can write programs to do just about anything. Its graphing features are also very helpful. I just took integral calculus, and this calculator can easily compute derivatives and integrals. I cannot say enough good things about this calculator. It has gotten me through my senior year of high school and freshman year at LSU.Digital camera Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome calculator!
I brought it previously used. It's a necessity for College Algebra!
One thing I might add in, if you can buy new, please do so. When you purchase something previously owned, it might not come with certain attachments.
The calculator I ordered was in perfect condition! I plugged in the batteries and it loaded within 1 second! One thing I really hate, is that the previous owner's name is ENGRAVED on the front and back of the calculator. I think people should stop doing that. Some masking tape and a marker is fine. I am really happy with my purchase. But the calculator is moaning in pain from the carving on his frontal pelvic area and back. Lol.
The shipping was incredibly fast too. My other order didn't even come yet!
Digital camera Review: BEWARE OF A SWITCH
Summary: 1 Stars
I ORDERED THIS AFTER READING THE MODEL AND THE TEXAS INSTRUMENT WEB SITE.
WHEN I ORDERED IT THE PICTURE SHOWED THE CORRECT PICTURE OF THE TI-83 PLUS GRAPHING CACLULATOR. AFTER 2 DAYS I CLICKED THE LINK AND NOW IT SHOWS ME A NEW CALCULATOR AND STILL HAS THE TI-83 DETAILS.BUT NOW IT IS A CHEAP CALCULATOR THAT HAS NO GRAPHING BUT STILL LISTS IT AS THE TI-83 PLUS
I HAVE NOT RECIEVED IT AS OF YET BUT I SMELL A BAIT AND SWITCH
IN MY EYESTexas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator
IF THIS DOES HAPPEN I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AGAINST AMAZON AS WELL AS SELLER
I GUESS AMAZON IS NOT THE PLACE TO SHOP ANY MORE USED TO BE A GOOD PLACE BUT SEEMS LIKE THE BAIT N SWITCH HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT TO THIS SITE THESE DAYS.
WHO NEEDS THE HASSEL

BEWARE camera Review: Baby toy calculator
Summary: 2 Stars Parents: If you're going to buy your child a graphing calculator for school, DON'T insult his/her intelligence with this limited function calculator. Go with a TI-86 or TI-89 as it will serve him/her well through into college. What this means is you save money by purchasing one calculator that will be useful for SATs, GREs, AP tests, high school, algebra, calculus 1-3, college, etc...
If you buy a TI-83, you will have to get a TI-86 or TI-89 in the future because a TI-83 is an OVERGLORIFIED TI-82, which is really good for pre-algebra and algebra.
GRANTED you can use a TI-83 for Calculus and more advanced math, but it's a good idea to allow your child to grow intellectually by learning how to use a much more advanced calculator for Calc II and III. I had no problems using a TI-86 for Calc 2 and 3, but the TI-89 definitely helped me understand theorems that were in 3 dimensions.
For those who are looking for a calculator to use at work:
The TI-83 is a piece of junk. It's for kiddies in 6th grade.
The TI-86 is a better engineering calc than the TI-89 due to its more intuitive menu interface for units conversions and what not.
The TI-89 is better suited for theoretical math work because of its "pretty print" and units system. Plus with the right software mods, you can do differentiation/integration with the variables intact - just a time saver really.
However I realize you're just trying to find info on the TI-83. My overall recommendation for the TI-83 is: don't bother. It's a solid calculator but pay a bit more and get at least a TI-86. It will serve you WELL into frosh or sophomore year of college (Calculus I-III). A TI-83 will have served its absolute purpose by the start of your senior year in high school.
It's like bringing a 9mm pistol in an African Safari. It will handle meerkats and other small creatures but once you get to the larger predators - it will not work very well. The TI-86 and TI-89 is comparable to a .50AE and .50 Magnum. It can tackle small stuff but will hold its own when the big beasts come around.
Digital camera Review: Bad Calculator
Summary: 1 Stars
I received the calculator but it does not work anymore and i have only used it for a little while and i have changed the batteries but nothing works. I am upset with my purchase since i didnt pay for whay i got. I paid for a god calculator and i didnt get that.
