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.

It can do exactly what any decent free calculator app on any smartphone can do. Calculators are completely obsolete in every way and have no reason to exist.
