Why is this calculator cheaper than the non "plus" version? I paid $32 for that one. Is it because of the natural textbook display?

It's cheaper since it's the latest offering from Casio and they're trying to encourage current owners to update and prospective buyers to get the model that looks more "current". In some Asian countries you can still find the FX-991MS selling for $30 USD, but any newer models are around the $20 mark. In case you were wondering, the natural textbook display can be turned off and the calculator operates exactly like the FX-991MS. I use all of my Casio units in non-textbook mode for speedy entry.

Hi Randy I paid about $16 for this same model when I purchased. Dont think it is worth $32. I believe the link you are pointing to is indeed Fx115-ES Plus.

They both have natural displays. Maybe the non plus version is more expensive because it's about to be discontinued and there are only a few suppliers who still have it.

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

if you require it for a regular finance class, the Plus version will do just fine ... the Pro has a couple of added functions, like: Net Future Value (NFV) and Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) ... the price difference between the two is about $10 ... I'd go for the Pro ... good luck with your finance class

Also you can download the manual online. I highly recommend using the manual and actually entering the data entries they show. It really helps show you the expansive abilities this awesome calculator can perform.

Easily. Most people don't use these calculators to their full capacity. The other model is nicer to look at and probably a tad easier to use. Both should have the same capabilities.

not sure, but curious why you are buying such a ancient calculator (maybe by force??) ick... I would never go back to the 84 since the release of the nspire cx or even the hp prime.

Hello- Yes the calculator has the + - key. If you put the - then # it shows -10 etc. If you put -10 - 10 it will show -20 etc. If you put 20+10 -10 it will give you the total for 20. Or 10 + -20 - 10 it will show -20. I hope I explained this ok.

I have never had any reason to look at either of those numbers. I guess I would contact the manufacturer & pose the question there. Or, you could use the old method of trying both types and see if you can find any "difference" (that's my method of solving a question...)" :) :)

I know the Plus version does but I'm not sure of the normal one. (The plus version is like 20 bucks more.)

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

From a purely technical standpoint, the prices should be reversed (and both prices halved or quartered). I think the Casio is superior in many ways. However, as some commenters have noted, you have to be careful if a class requires a particular make/model calculator, and some textbooks have key-by-key walkthroughs that are TI-oriented for completely commercial (not quality or educational) reasons.

There is no difference in functionality as far as I can tell. The only thing that I can think would be the difference would be the market in which the device was originally intended or perhaps the year it was manufactured, but I could not even find the 400l on casio's website when I was looking at purchasing mine. I purchased the 400l because it was significantly cheaper than the straight 400 model when I was looking. I would say pick up the cheaper of the two if you are trying to decide between the two. The one I purchased has worked magnificently, and has done the job I needed it to. I purchased mine to for use in my upper level math and electronics courses at school (University), the only caution I would take is to make sure that your school (assuming that is what you are buying it for) allows the use of CAS calculators. Some do not, and it would suck to purchase such an advanced calculator and not be able to use it on tests or in class.... Though I guess it would still make doing homework easier.

well, if you shop around at the same places it really doesn't sell for less in the real market, it sells for about the same, but the main reason, just like why the ti-83 sells for way above what it should be selling for considering the software is like 10 yrs old or even older, is that ti has their foot planted solidly in the college market, which in my opinion is really corrupt, because these colleges only use the ti's in the math classes, you can use other graphing calc's like casio, which are just as good, but the schools don't support or give instructions using these other calcs, which they should be, talk about corrupt, wow. the ti-84-C calc is the same as the silver except it has a color screen which is really nice, now don't get me wrong, this ti is nice, and I like it, and this is the calc that you can get all the programming info off the web to program it, the casio fx cg10 is every bit as nice if not nicer (a few extra's on it, and also a color screen) and priced at the same if not cheaper, which you can also use in the colleges, so if you understand calculators you'd be fine buying one of the casio's, either way, they're both great, and I have the three of the casio's calc's and three of the ti's, I kind of collect them, I guess, like a golfer collects golf clubs.............LOL. I even have the HP calc, but you really don't want to buy this calc for school, it's all business and you really do have to fully understand graphing calculators to use the HP graphing calc.

I haven't tried the silver one, but the new black one has hard/stiff buttons. The stiff/hard buttons slowed me down so I returned the calculator. I went with the regular non-pro BA II Plus and like the button feel much better. One thing to note: if you like to hold your calculator with both hands and use your thumbs to press the buttons you might be OK with the button feel . However, if you like to lay your calculator on a flat surface(table/desk) and use your index/middle finger to press the buttons I don't think you will like this calculator because of the stiff/ hard buttons. I liked everything about the pro BA II plus except the button feel. It was a deal breaker to me. I haven't tried the silver one, but the new black one has hard/stiff buttons.

There are actually three versions: TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, and TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. The Plus C SE is the one on this page. TI-84 Plus SE is better than the original (and antiquated) TI-84 Plus in that it has more onboard memory. Additionally, I believe it has Math Print (newer formatting) as well as customizable plates. The TI-84 Plus C SE adds a higher-resolution color display to the TI-84 Plus SE. This allows more information and detail to be shown on the screen. Plus, graphs have different colors as opposed to black and green on the others. It's also rechargeable, so no more replacing the AA batteries.If you can get a good deal, go for the Plus C...I have it and it's an EXCELLENT calculator. Otherwise, the TI-84 Plus SE is just as good. I wouldn't recommend the original TI-84 Plus, though.

There are absolutely no difference. The silver has customize-able faceplates and apparently the 84-plus doesn't. I believe that isn't what you are buying your calculator for. That didn't at all play a factor in which calculator I chose, because I am buying it for the performance not the beauty. Also the silver has more ram/rom 1.5mb vs the 84 plus 480kb. I won't be saving things on my calculator, and either way I clear my RAM ALL THE TIME, so that didn't play a factor neither. Aside this, there is nothing is, they perform and get the same tasks done . Hope I helped.
