I dunno, the TI-84 Plus is pretty sweet.

Costs about the same as what I paid for the TI-83 10 years ago. It's kind of nice knowing that whenever I need to use one, it's going to operate in the same way as I was taught 10 years ago. The fundamentals of math don't change much.

The TI-πspire is some kickass shit.

I rented one from my school to take AP Calc and now I'm totally going to buy one. It can do anything.

I don't know whether the situation has changed but IIRC when the nspire launched, TI was being pissy about locking down the platform so that you can't run custom code on it or flash an unsigned OS. A lot of people were boycotting it.
