Did you know that Texas Instruments has announced a COLOR TI 84 plus?

Jan 30, 2013 11:15 PM

Texas Instruments has recently announced a new TI 84 Plus C Silver Edition with a color display.

This new version of the popular TI 84 Plus SE will now have a 320 x 240 pixels (2.8" diagonal) view screen with a 140 DPI and 16 color display. This will allow users to add color images to the background and apply mathematical functions to these images to reveal how math is involved in everything around us.

The color display will also allow users to change colors and styles of axis and grids to make reading graphs easier and simpler.

The TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition will be available in Spring of 2013.

Personally, I think this is a good idea that should have been implemented some time ago. I wouldn't mind one of these, but I don't see how this could compare to my TI Nspire CX color calculator.

Looking forward to hear about the update to Phoenix. I used to be so good at that game...then my calculator died. Wasn't able to get it on my replacement.

This is great, I had a TI-84 in high school that was stolen a few years later while in college. I miss that beast of a calculator.

@patboersma: It should be nearly identical to the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition with a B/W screen except for any new features afforded it by the color display.

However, this new TI-84 Plus will use a rechargeable battery rather than replaceable store bought batteries. So as long as you keep it charged up you should have no problem with it.

Your beast of a calculator will once again rampage through Math classes like a mad rhino. Only this time, it will do so in living color. Should be fun.

Pretty sure this was announced about a month ago, wasn't it? Lots of talk at the time about how TI, with their virtual monopoly on graphing calculators, had been holding the price steady while the price of all other electronics has dropped drastically over the past 20 years, all while adding no new features. Finally, a new feature to justify the price!

@djp519: Yea, I think I read something about it on Gizmodo...

Edit: Yup, here it is! http://gizmodo.com/5959434/graphing-calculators-are-finally-going-to-join-us-in-the-future-with-color-screens

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
