I can’t really understate the stranglehold this line of calculators has had on the math education community. Although it’s no longer TI’s cutting edge calculator–that label goes to the TI-Nspire CX (review)–it’s still a strong calculator. I’ve had a ton of experience working with students on the TI-84 Plus, from the classroom to math team to ACT test prep. That means it’s time to re-examine the TI-84 Plus from a 2016 perspective and see how it holds up. However, the black and white version of the TI-84 Plus remains hugely popular, and is often the top selling graphing calculator on Amazon

Most importantly, TI released a major new upgrade to the TI-84 Plus family, the TI-84 Plus CE, a full color display edition of the calculator designed to bring the TI-84 Plus into the next decade. Things have changed quite a bit during that time for Texas Instruments calculators in general and for the TI-84 Plus platform in specific. Long ago and far away (in the year 2010), I did a review of the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator.
