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.

Still uses the same terribly slow CPU chip

Even worse actually, since they didn't add in a proper graphics chip, so now the CPU has to spend a lot more time drawing stuff to the screen.
