This is just awful. The TI-83 is one of the worst devices I have ever used. It is completely useless. First of all, it's the 21st Century, okay? It still does not have a color screen (at least 256-bit LCD); it lacks wireless functionality, forcing you to use the exasperating, cheap, and short cables; it's WAY too bulky and long. Seriously, this thing looks hideous, it could've been much more compact but this is just gigantic and heavy. The screen lacks a backlight. Come on, Game Gears even had backlights. This is just so sad. Another big problem is that it has over a thousand buttons! There are just WAY too many buttons. It also lacks a nice hard drive to store more data. The power button is just a regular button on the front, causing you to accidentally turn on/off (they should have made the power button a switch on the side). The batteries are another issue; they last about 2 hours. Let's be serious here, how long have lithium-ion batteries been around? 7-10 years? It should have included a lithium-ion battery instead. The menus are just horrid; they're just unnecessarily long lists of random functions that are useless. They could have categorized the menus in a more efficient manner, and made them into scrollable icons or lists. No sound or speaker? You've got to be kidding me. They could have at least had a headphone jack on this thing. And with all of these flaws, the darn thing is overpriced like crazy! This is a DEFINITE MUST NOT BUY! Don't waste your time or your money on this ugly thing. My advice to you, go buy a Pocket PC instead (or even a PSP, DS, or a new cell phone for that matter; you get the same features but much nicer, cheaper, and efficient). In simple words, STAY AWAY FROM THE TI-83 GRAPHICS CALCULATORS!Get more detail about Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator.
