Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Color Graphing Calculator
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The exam position is the thing to establish before buying: this is approved for SAT, ACT, AP and IB, and CBSE, ICSE, JEE and NEET permit no calculator at all.

Who should buy this
Students sitting international examinations, or using it for coursework and Python.
Who should avoid this
Anyone buying it for CBSE, ICSE, JEE or NEET -- no calculator is permitted in those.

After a few months
Had this six weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Colour backlit display and rechargeable battery. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Not permitted in any Indian board examination or JEE and NEET. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

No notes
Approved for SAT, ACT, AP and IB examinations. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Colour backlit display and rechargeable battery. Been using it now for three months.
Ishaan Y.Sample4 found this helpful - 3 out of 5 stars, in a sample review of Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Color Graphing Calculator
Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Not permitted in any Indian board examination or JEE and NEET. Costs many times a scientific calculator. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Approved for SAT, ACT, AP and IB examinations. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Students sitting international examinations, or using it for coursework and Python. On that basis it has been the right call. Approved for SAT, ACT, AP and IB examinations.
