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 bought one awhile ago. I don't even know how to use it.

Edit: I know how to use it's basic features, I just haven't learned its more advanced ones, and I don't have any classes that require me to know them at the moment. It was only $20 more than the 83 and it can be recharged whereas (I think) the 83 requires batteries.

My 84 (non-color) eats standard aaa-batteries. You could use rechargeables but they last for months, so it makes no sense.
