Talk:Comparison of Texas Instruments graphing calculators

message: Does anybody else think that the predecessors list is a dumb addition to this page?  They're in order!  In addition, the 81 lists "no predecessors," but what about the 80?  159.250.29.18 20:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

text: It should be noted that the TI graphing calculators are in several different families. The 81,82,83s, and 84s are all in a family geared toward high school students. The 85 and 86 were geared toward college and engineering. The 89s, 92s were geared for very advanced applications, etc. The 80 was designed, I believe, for middle schoolers as an entry level graphing calculator. That was the reason for the predecessors and superceedors. However, it is a feature that could be done without. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Benrr101 (talk) 02:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Am I the only one that is curious of where the unconfirmed 2.53GHz processor in the Nspire came from? That would put the CPU in the range of at least a P3 assuming its cache and everything other than speed was atrocious. I'm currently looking at mine I doubt it's that powerful. It should probably be changed to unconfirmed unless someone sources it.- Nintendonien (talk) 13:42, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just deleted the 2.53 GHz clock speed since I didn't find anything to corroborate that while searching. Although I did find a few sites saying that it could be around 90 MHz, though none of them seemed authoritative enough to reference. - Dlrohrer2003 19:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The lack of consistency between using decimal and binary notation for memory here confuses me.  Would it be correct to replace every instance of KB with KiB and MB with MiB here, or are the values correct as stated?  I apparently missed the big SI vs IEC nerd-fest in college, so I'm not crystal clear on whether using the SI units is ever appropriate when talking about computer memory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.254.126 (talk) 05:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They need to replace every appearance of "KB/MB/GB/..." with "thousand/million/billion/..." or "binary kilobyte/binary megabyte/binary gigabyte/..." to be less ambiguous.  KiB/MiB/GiB works but only for the obvious cases like size of RAM.  The fact that even in 2011 this was still a problem (and I still get asked this) shows it was a political decision with no concern for practicality or understanding how (human) languages actually work.  No exceptions to spell out the (proper, decimal) powers using a second letter is why it failed as a 'patch' to incorrect usage.  47.221.236.73 (talk) 13:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

message: We should add a column listing the physical dimensions of the calculators, because that may be important to someone who is looking for a calculator that, for example, can fit comfortably in their pocket.12Me21 (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Is it appropriate to mention the TI 84-Plus CE. It is an upgrade from the TI 84-Plus and adds a color screen and more memory at least.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.164.12.95 (talk) 14:26, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Just as it was done in Comparison of HP graphing calculators, it would be useful to insert a column describing what character set was used by each calculator in the main table. ​‑‑🌀⁠SilSinnAL982100⁠💬 19:13, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't just randomly start deleting entire columns after people went to great effort to check and enter them.  This happens enough as it is on technical articles.  It devalues the comparison tables when someone actually wants that information, regardless if "too much information" (in a column people can ignore).  It's not just irrelevant information, either.  47.221.236.73 (talk) 13:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

message: As in the subject the MSRP for TI-83 Premium CE needs to be changed from Euro to USD.
Is is also important to point out that the MSRP value could be inaccurate as some sources claim it is as low as 80 euro.
