In a variety of settings, I’ve started working with multiple monitors more regularly, and I’m finding myself rather addicted to it. Not too long ago, I decided, my blog cave needed a second monitor. However, it was something I wanted to do on a budget. I didn’t need a 4K quality monitor, just something to give me extra room to work with. What I settled on was the Dell E2414Hx 24 inch LED monitor.
I recently picked up an Amazon Basics Wireless Mouse and wanted to do a quick review, and given how quick and easy it was to use, it will be a quick review, indeed. I primarily use this mouse with a MacBook Air Retina. While I’ve been very please with my introduction to the world of OS X, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to just using a touchpad, regardless of the operating system, and I wanted an affordable mouse with no extra bells and whistles.
In this post: The Best Scientific Calculator for School TI-30X IIS Review TI-30XS Multiview TI-30X IIS vs TI-30XS Multiview Comparison Best Scientific Calculator for School A graphing calculator isn’t a necessity for everyone’s mathematical needs. For many students, they just want the best scientific calculator they can get. But buyer beware; even though the most popular scientific calculators can usually be purchased for under $20, there’s a huge difference in the usability and capability of these calculators.
Please buy your TI-Nspire CX on Amazon . With a new school year upon us, I’m bound to get a flood of questions from students about which graphing calculator is right for them. Since the new color TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition is now on the market, I’m assuming the question of the TI-Nspire CX vs. the TI-84 Plus C will be one of the biggest questions I get this school year.
For a great selection of used graphing calculators, click here to see Ebay’s full selection. While most end up buying a new calculator, some thrifty students (or their parents) end up buying a used graphing calculator. Much like buying a used car, the main advantage is depreciation. You can often buy a used graphing calculator for half of what a new one would cost. On the other hand, much like buying a used car, there are some risks.
Looking for a TI-83 plus cheap? I can’t recommend it. You will be SO MUCH HAPPIER with a TI-84 Plus by clicking this link to Ebay. OK, I’ve had enough. It’s time for a rant. I’ve been watching the top 20 graphing calculator rankings on Amazon for a while now. What’s that? You’ve never spent time following the “power rankings?” Let me tell you. You’ve been missing out. It’s not the story you might think you’ve been missing out on: The TI-84 Plus has had a stranglehold on the top spot for years as the various iterations of the TI-Nspire have slowly climbed the ladder trying to knock it off.
Please buy your Guerrilla Graphing Calculator accessories at Amazon. Recently I heard from a new company, Guerrilla Calculator Accessories, asking me to take a looking at their line of graphing calculator cases, protectors, covers and shields for Texas Instruments calculators. I thought, “Sure, how extensive a lineup could they possibly have?” Little did I know. About a week later, a case of accessories arrived at my door. The guys at Guerrilla have thought of just about every possible way a student might want to accessorize and protect their Texas Instruments graphing calculator.
Click here to buy your HP 50G on Amazon . HP graphing calculators haven’t had the highest profile the last few years, but that’s about to change with the release with the upcoming HP Prime-review. Despite the lack of new models, the HP 50g has continued to be a popular choice, in fact, the most popular graphing calculator choice among HP fans. Back in the late 90’s when I was an engineering student at the University of Illinois and my graphing calculator of choice was actually, an HP, the HP 48gx.
Click here to buy the TI-84 Plus C on Amazon! UPDATE: (2/10/16) Since I wrote this review a couple of years ago, Texas Instruments has discontinued the TI-84 Plus C. While it continues to be available at some retail outlets like Amazon, I suggest taking a look at the newer model, the TI-84 Plus CE. You can follow this link to my TI-84 Plus CE Review.

Click here to check the TI-89 Titanium Price on Amazon. It’s been almost 2 years since I first reviewed one of my favorite graphing calculators with a computer algebra system, the TI-89 Titanium. The original TI-89, a smaller version of the old TI-92, was released in 1998 after Texas Instruments realized people didn’t want to have to pack a suitcase to bring their calculator to class. The TI-92 was a great calculator, but it was huge and because it had a QWERTY keyboard, it was banned from almost every standardized test (because for some reason the College Board feels that allowing calculator manufacturers to place keys in QWERTY format gives students an insurmountable advantage on the SAT).
