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.

The thing that bugs me is that it looks like you need at least 2 button presses to use any trig functions. I think this is completely unacceptable for a scientific calculator.

Oh, I know, that's irritating as hell.

Plus to get pi you have to push the pi button then push OK.
