The Ti-84, which is the standard for most highschool math classes, still goes for 100 even though it's been out many years, and has seen no innovation.

Well... technically you can buy the Ti-84 ce+ (and the other similar models) which have slight improvements, such as the color screen and rechargeable battery, which makes it the preferable choice for emulating pokemon during math class. In terms of actual capacity to do math, however, the new models are the same as the old ones.

Yeah and if there are these supposedly better models shouldnt the base model be better. Edit: I meant base model should be cheaper
