Best Graphing Calculators

The Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus has a decent processing power, which results in good performance. The onboard 24KB RAM ensures high speed of graphing, defining, saving, analyzing up to 10 functions at a time or performing a list-based one/two-variable statistical analysis operations or other complex calculations. To a large extent, this model owes its high performance to the processor used, which is 2.5 times as powerful as the one of the previous model. The ROM is 480KB, which provides enough room for storing the most necessary applications and data.

For displaying calculation results, plotting functions and expressions the Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus graphing calculator uses an improved 2.8-inch monochrome display with a comparatively low 96 x 64 pixels resolution. Despite such resolution, function graphs and figure projections are clearly discernible and easy to read. As for the values, this TI graphing calculator can display up to 8 lines with up to 16 characters in each, which allows manipulating large expressions and big numbers.

Casio FX-CG10 PRIZM graphing calculators feature a high-speed processor FX-CG10 PRIZM, which speeds the processing up of about three to five times — significantly faster than the other models. Lengthy calculations and complex graphics solutions are performed much faster. These graphing calculators come with 1.5 MB of internal memory and 62 KB RAM. These figures prove that Casio FX-CG10 PRIZM might be the best graphing calculators in their respective fields of application, such as higher mathematics and natural sciences.

As for the display, this model has a full color LCD screen with a diagonal of 3.7 inches, more than 65,000 brilliant colors and more than 82,000 pixels. The calculator screen has a resolution of 384 x 216 pixels. This is perhaps the best graphing calculators display option. If you do not want to deal with poor image and graininess in the graphs, then you definitely need to pay attention to this model.

Like most graphing calculators, Casio FX-CG10 PRIZM operates on AAA size batteries, one of the most commonly used battery type. Four rechargeable AAA batteries can provide up to 140 hours of stable autonomous work, and you will have no trouble finding a replacement almost anywhere should such need arise.

Did you know that the Texas Instruments company aside from producing graphing calculators is engaged in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices, microcircuits, electronic components and related products? The company itself was founded on December 6, 1941, and is headquartered in Dallas city, Texas, USA. Worth mentioning is the Texas Instruments’ geography and scale that makes it the fourth largest manufacturer of semiconductor devices having ceded the leadership only to Intel, Samsung, and Toshiba. The company holds a leading position in the manufacture of mobile device microcircuits as well as in the digital signal processors (DSP) and analog semiconductors. TI also produces microchips for wideband modems and PC peripherals, electronic consumer devices and RFID tags. Remarkably, in 2009 the company occupied the 215th position in Fortune 500 top list.

Today very few people know that HP company had no connection to the production of personal computers up to the middle sixties. The first calculating device by this company was the НР 2116A mini-computer. The price of this behemoth of a device was $50 000. Interestingly enough, this computer is the largest electromechanical device ever manufactured by the company. Initially, the НР 2116A computer was designed for the domestic wants satisfaction but afterward it was decided to establish a batch production. Getting back to the topic, the first programmable calculating unit in the world was produced by HP in far 1968 and was named HP 9100A. The maximum configuration of HP 9100A was being sold at $4 900. This computer was distinguishable for offering its users a few very elegant engineering solutions (for example, the computer was able to save the last entered digits on an emergency power off) and soon gained popularity. After a few years, in 1972, the world’s first scientific handheld calculator the HP-35 was produced. At that time this calculator was innovative and the first truly compact computing device. Subsequently, the HP-35 gained a recognition as one of the most important milestones in the history of computers development. That is why in 2007 the НР company decided to launch the production of HP-35s anniversary model with a vintage design to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the legendary HP-35 model.

The HP Prime Graphing Calculator specifications make it one of the best graphing calculators among the reviewed models in terms of performance. The impressive 256MB integrated memory, which is arguably the biggest on the market provides enough space for storing complex functions and calculation patterns making this calculator a versatile solution. The available amount of RAM is 32MB, which is also an outstanding value for a device of this type and together with a 400 MHz ARM9 processor provides a fast performance of data-heavy computing, plotting and other calculations.

HP Prime Graphing Calculator is equipped with a high-quality 16-bit color display that provides a precise image display of your diagrams, plots and calculation results. The diagonal size of the screen is 3.5 inches and the resolution is 320 x 240 pixels, which is beneficial for displaying function diagrams. Another display-related feature that makes this HP model one of the best graphing calculators is the availability of touch screen control along with button control. The display of this graphing calculator accommodates up to 10 lines of 33 symbols in addition to menu items and a header.
