Overview
- Texas Instruments released the TI-84 Evo and is selling it now for $160 to individual buyers, with school districts directed to request bulk pricing.
- The new model runs a processor that TI says is three times faster than the previous TI-84, which should speed up graphing and calculations.
- Students get 50% more graphing space along with a new icon-based home screen and a redesigned keypad for simpler navigation.
- A new trace feature lets users move along a graph to find key points, and the device switches to USB-C for charging and comes in several colors.
- TI frames the Evo as a distraction-free alternative to phone apps, reflecting schools’ push to limit non-academic tech while keeping a familiar TI-84 tool in math classes.
