Leery of "special edition"
products, we regarded the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition with some healthy
skepticism. It's silver--so what? As you may have noticed, in the
post-iMac era, everything electronic seems to boast cool translucent or
glittery casing. However, the features of the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition
are substantial, offering useful, powerful extras at a remarkable value.
While the mathematic and graphing tools are comparable to the
TI-83 Plus, the Silver Edition boasts significantly improved speed and
memory. Its processor is 2.5 times faster, and it has over 1.5 MB of
memory--10 times that of the TI-83 Plus. These upgrades make the Silver
Edition a significantly improved graphing tool, enabling you to work
faster and save more of your equations and programs.
Like the
TI-83 Plus, the Silver Edition has a large, easy-to-read 64 x 96 pixel
LCD that fits 16 characters and 8 lines. Altering the contrast of the
screen is intuitively easy, as is the key layout and graphing interface.
Mathematic tools are substantial, including viewing equations, graphs,
and coordinates simultaneously; advanced statistics and regression
analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis; and tools for
engineering, financial, logarithm, trigonometry, and hyperbolic
functions. The calculator is ideal for students in algebra, calculus,
and statistics, as well as those taking the PSAT/NMSQT, SAT I or II, and
AP College Board Tests.
The calculator is also rich in tools for those studying biology,
chemistry, or physics, including a pre-programmed periodic table. Other
programs included with the calculator include a spreadsheet, organizer
for phone numbers, puzzle pack, probability simulation, and CBL/CBR
applications.
The calculator uses
four AAA batteries and one lithium battery for backup. All batteries
are included, as well as a hard slide cover, manual with apps on CD and I/O link cable to transfer programs between calculators.
Overall, the improved power, faster speed
for a remarkably low price make this a truly special "special edition,"
and we have to admit that the silver casing does look pretty cool. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
