Our take on the TI-84 Evo Graphing Calculator

The TI-84 Evo is Texas Instruments' newest graphing calculator, replacing the long-running TI-84 Plus CE line. It adds an icon-based home screen, a larger graphing area, a processor TI calls three times faster, USB-C charging and built-in Python. It is approved for the ACT, SAT, IB and AP exams, which keeps it on the same footing as the TI-84 Plus CE and the Casio fx-CG50 for test day. Students upgrading from an older TI-84 get faster plotting and a cleaner keypad, but anyone who already owns a Plus CE gains mostly speed and interface polish rather than new math.
