Texas Instruments TI-84 PLUS CE Graphing Calculator, Black (Frustration-Free Packaging) (84PLCE/PWB/2L1/A)

I am on course to take three math classes in a row and I needed a calculator to last me through those classes and beyond. I bought this with the understanding that it is new and not a refurbished or renewed model. When it came and I opened the box I saw tape was holding the package together and when I opened it to inspect the calculator, the cords were not wrapped up and were hanging loose inside. I went back through the Amazon page to see if I had missed anything, but I confirmed that I had bought a new calculator and that it wasnt under the renewed page. On a sticker posted on the back of the package it is even listed as new. By all means it doesnt look heavily used, however I cant give it anything over one star when the package and the calculator and cords come in the state that they were in.

It had some other technical issue too. Returned.

The TI-84 plus ce is an amazing calculator but there are many downsides. In schools across America many kids are required to get ti calculators, any alternatives would be hard to use due to lack of instructions in class. Although this simplifies many things it also makes way for a monopoly on school calculator use. Design: This calculator is very thin and sleek, making it one of the best-looking calculators in the market and the most portable. Materials: These calculators materials are god awful, For close to $150 your getting a cheap, scratchable hunk of plastic. With its terrible fingerprint attracting screen and its scratched front panel (mine came scratched) I feel this calculator should be made of much better materials considering its price. In the first month, 2 of the plastic bumpers on the back fell off because the cheap glue used does not stick. Overall I would say the build quality of the ti 84 is completely unacceptable.

Great calculator! Though it is expensive it is worth the money. Easy to use and the battery lasts a very long time.

Everything came in a little white box in one piece. However, the charging cable jack is bent. Now I can not charge my calculator.

Quick and easy shipping. Meets my expectations and is easy to use in conjunction with college algebra.

Good

Product packaging was opened inside shipping package, like this was used. Seems to work as expected. Seller helped speed up shipping which was helpful.

Very good!
