I need some help, Casio Vs. Texas Instruments?

Hi guys, I need a new Graphing Calculator but am unsure as to what company to go with. I will probably be taking statistics next year but still don't know which of these two calculators would be better. I'm looking at this one and this one. Anyone have any input on this matter?

Way back in the day I used a TI86 equiped with games.

TI since most of the TI calculators are approved for the SAT/ACT (which should be important to you if you are still in high school).Xeros606

I love my Ti-84

It has worked great for me for nearly 5 years.

Another vote for TI - don't know how I would have gone through college without it.Sajedene

TI-89, by far. Might cost a pretty penny, but you will use it ALL through HS, and ALL through college, and people will be begging to borrow it when they find out what it can do with factoring, integrals, and differentials. I got an a in University-level Calculus, all due to my baby.

TI for the most part. Just about every class I've taken that requires a graphing calculator recommends TI. Teachers/professors I've had are mostly familiar with TIs.

Right now in Calculus the TI-84 is doing just fine, I would recommend it. Sounds like the TI-89 is even a step up from that!

What. The. Hell. My university doesnt allow calculators with "advanced alphanumeric capabilities"...... Which university is this!?

TI-89 is the only way to do it.

Have a Ti inspire and I currently hate it, its rediculously overcomplicated and impossible to use. TI 89 looks fine though.

Casio cause that's what my Math teacher in high school recommended. Also we don't have TI calculators here :P Well....I never saw one....Kenny789

TI-89 because you can play Super Mario Bros. 3 on it.

I voted TI, but I would get an HP before either TI or Casio.

i didn't look at the ones you linked, but i have a TI-84 and it does more than enough than i'll need for my math classes. anything higher would probably be just as well, too.

Just get a basic TI-83 or 84. If you need an 89 to do differentiation and integration, then you aren't smart enough to be taking those courses. Not like you need a calculator in calculus classes anyway...Dark__Link

When you're an engineer or technologist on the job, you're employer with thank you for saving time by using those types of calculators or software.

Texas Instruments. I'd get a TI-84 because it'll do everything you want it to do. Also, if you're going to a good university, you won't let you use a calculator anyways.

Ah sorry I didn't read fully.

But I still stand by my reason to buy it for the Mario game :P

Just get a Nintendo DSi.. It got me through all the boring times!

I've got a Texas and it works well. I'd go with that.
