Texas Instruments unveils the new TI-84 Plus CE

Introducing a slim, lightweight design, six times the memory and a bold new line-up of colors

DALLAS, Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN), the most trusted brand in graphing calculator technology, today unveiled a new addition to the TI-84 Plus family of graphing calculators--the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator. The TI-84 Plus CE is now 30 percent thinner and 30 percent lighter than the TI-84 Plus, and students can express their own personal style by choosing their TI-84 Plus CE from a variety of colors, such as red, hot pink and blue.

TI created the TI-84 Plus CE in response to feedback from students using earlier models of the TI-84 Plus. "Students asked us to make their go-to graphing calculator slimmer, sleeker, more colorful, and lightweight, and we answered with the modern, streamlined design of the TI-84 Plus CE," said Peter Balyta, Ph.D., president of TI Education Technology. "Once you hold the new TI-84 Plus CE in your hand, you will immediately see and feel the improvements."

The TI-84 Plus CE has six times the memory of the TI-84 Plus so students can store vivid, full-color graphs, images and data. The lightweight yet durable design also makes the graphing calculator easier to carry to and from school and activities for today's on-the-go students.

Teachers will appreciate that the key placement, navigation and menus are the same as earlier TI-84 Plus models so they can continue to use their current classroom activities. Parents will appreciate that a one-time purchase of a TI-84 Plus CE in middle school will take students through all of the math courses they need to take in high school, college and beyond- including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics.

The TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator is permitted on high-stakes exams, including the PSAT/NMSQT*, SAT* and ACT® college entrance exam as well as Advanced Placement* exams that allow or require a graphing calculator. The TI-84 Plus CE will be available for purchase later this spring. For information on availability, visit our website.
