    Since it seems that the TI-84+ SE, though released 5 or 6 years ago (?), is widespread and appears to be easy to use, I might go with it albeit its lower resolution when compared to the TI-Nspire. Hypothetically, would the TI-Nspire be nearly the same as the TI-84+ SE if I snapped on the TI-84 keypad?

    The reason I ask this is because the two are nearly the same price from the merchants/sellers I'm looking at. Here is the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition (with fulfillment by Amazon) for ~$121 and the TI-Nspire for ~$125 (with fulfillment from Amazon) .

    Honestly couldn't tell you what to get without knowing the rules of your exams and such. Also, I know how to use a TI-83/4...I don't know how to use the Nspire. Therefore, I recommend the TI-84. It's always a safe option.

    Re: I need help choosing a graphing calculator

    Okay thanks you guys. I guess there isn't a real reason to go with anything like the TI-Nspire (teachers aren't using it/recommending it etc.). It seems that there is poor documentation for the product and so it could be confusing for people who aren't tech savvy, the resolution is "downgraded" to the TI-84 resolution when using the TI-84 keypad (not like it's a major thing), and the buttons are tightly fitted predisposing the user to a higher chance of typographical errors - according to reviews that is. I hope I don't have remorse although Texas Instruments have pretty good calculators (have a TI-30X IIS which is awesome).
