What can it do that a TI-89 cannot?

Also, how long does the battery last?

TI-30x
TI-36x   <--  this thing is awesome for a non graphing calculator
two TI-83+'s  (don't ask me why I have 2, I'm not sure I know)
Casio® PRIZM™ FX-CG10 Graphing Calculator
and I'm thinking about picking up a TI-nSPIRE

As a math major at Berkeley right now I can say I'm a little into calculators

I have an 86 and an 89TI around here somewhere.

I have an 89 emulator on my computers.  That's mostly what I use.

Don't let anyone talk you into that reverse polish logic nonsense.

ETA: Long since out of college.  Last Math class I took was probably 98 or 99. Was a T.A. for Calc III until ~01.  Have had a real job since.

I have two of them, the manuals and some aftermarket user manuals.  Does that make me a collector?

I used a Casio FX-somethingorother most of the way through college.  I got an HP32Sii my junior year and an HP50g from work last year.  The HP50g is pretty decent, but for what I do, I like the 32Sii more (I don't need to graph stuff and it fits in pockets).  Funny, but I remember being envious of all the HP48's back in the day.

Same here. I love the 48G. I've had it for almost 20 years.

Usually Windows calculator. My keyboard has a dedicated Calculator button that I've gotten so used to I won't want a keyboard without it. For anything complex: Excel, Mathematica/Wolfram Alpha, custom program.

For college I used a TI-30XS. Multi-line helps a lot. Only used it in physics, chem, stats. Core mathematics courses had a complete ban on calculators at my school.

I had a TI-86 for highschool. I loved that thing, it had the best menu layout of the 83/85/89, etc. Unfortunately I let my dipshit nephew borrow it for his HS classes and he gave me back a TI-83 lame ass edition. I think that idiot traded for a pack of smokes. I told him to just keep the  83, partly because it was a POS, but mostly because graphing calculators are of very limited use. If it weren't for highschools strict requirements they wouldn't make 90% of their current sales.

Last time I checked they cant do indefinite integrals.

Edit: NVM looked it up there is CAS an non CAS versions

By the way, HP Prime is out, that thing is TITS!

TI-89 Titanium. The programming as well as matrix manipulation is great. If I need very complex matrix math, I use MATLAB. The 3D graphing is nice on the 89 Titanium, but if I was near a computer, I'd use MATLAB.

There are no other calculators I have seen, short of a qwerty keyboard (might as well get a pc) that compare.

That said, none of these calculators we are talking about are actually calculators. They are computers. Calculators can not be programmed, only perform certain functions. Computers can do both.

TI 30X all the way through an ME degree.

An HP 15C acquired in ~1985 is my "house" calculator and a 41CX acquired 1989 for work.  A local electronics store when out of business about 10-12 years ago and I picked up a 48GX for less than $100.  I took the batteries out after six months and went back to the 41CX.  There's also a great 41CX emulator for the iPhone/iPad that I use as well.

I use a TI89 or a HP50G mostly. However, I dont really use my calculator as much unless its a huge number or its a really messy problem.
