Cons: Dust gets under screen. Spongy keys. Weird cover.

I originally bought a TI-30X IIS for about $16 at Office Depot. I liked the unit, and gave it a 5 star review here at epinions. Then I lost it, but since they’re not expensive, I went out and bought another one. Strangely, my new TI-30X IIS is not ...

Pros: Reasonable price, sturdy, many useful math functions.
Cons: Like most cheap TI calculators, these tend to lose display digits.

I bought this calculator to replace another TI calculator that had lost one of its display digits and also had a spongy key. It was time for that one to go. I had already seen one important change in the TI-30-XIIS over my previous calculator that ...

Pros: Inexpensive, solar power

This calculator annoys me in several ways although it does have a few redeeming qualities that probably makes it worthwhile for high school math.

It's not clear to me why TI decided this calculator needed a slid on hard cover. I find this...

Pros: Incredibly versatile and inexpensive
Cons: Cannot graph

I remember back in 8th grade (I'm a first-year college student now) when all the hype in algebra class was about this new-fangled "TI-30x" calculator. "And when your parents ask you what you want for Christmas, tell them that you want a...

Pros: Great for all basic uses. Can do scientific calculations.

Pros: Very useful and easy to use.
Cons: Don't break it.

Pros: Easy to use

With the beginning of the new school year I needed a new calculator that had all the functions I would need to progress in my Algebra II class and the Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS calculator was perfect for the job. My mother was wise to buy this...

Pros: Infinite numbers/signs on each line, previous problems can be reviewed
Cons: Not an exact calculator

I originally bought this to have a great, cheap calculator. It works better than normal basic calculators due to some new features which are better than the TI 30X. Some of these features include a 4 way arrow button, which allows editing a...

Pros: Durability and ease of use
Cons: Slightly awkward cover

I recommend this as the calculator of choice to my science students for basic number crunching. I find the calculator to be virtually indestructible and is loaded with basic math functions.

Pros: Easy to use, good sized buttons, good price, lots of functions.
Cons: Difficult to fit in cover.

I recently acquired this TI scientific calculator after my very sturdy and reliable Casio one got smashed in my backpack. Sad times. Upon arriving at Office Depot to purchase this item, I noticed that there were a lot of calculators to choose from ...

Pros: It adds everything up right, you can use letters to write your name!
Cons: CONFUSING!

I can't do math for my LIFE. That is how bad I am at math. I still struggle doing subtraction and addition and everything else there is for my grade level cariculum. I knew this was a lot of money, that's why I was VERY greatful(more greatful beyond...

Pros: Works fine and shuts off by itself. Didn't cost too much either.
Cons: Couldn't recall right away how to use all the keys.

I bought the Texas Instrument TI_30X IIS Calculator two years ago. I needed it for a chemistry class I was taking. I can remember that it was great tot use. I was able to make all my calculations with no problem. When my class was over, I put away the calculator and have not used it since. This semester I am taking a math class, I knew I would need a calculator so I dug it up. One small problem, I cannot remember how to use all the keys. After several hours of playing around with it, I was able to recall all the function keys I would need to use for my class.
I wish they made a little guide to keep on the inside cover so I would always know what keys to hit to solve my problems.
I will say that for the price it works well, just don't forget how to work all the keys.
