Pros:So much easier to use than ANY Ti-XX calculatorBright color backlit screenCompletely intuitive interface for those even slightly technically inclinedComes with USB cable to update OS and add apps/data tablesWhite numeric keysAbsolutely does not require a "teacher" to explain how to use it (unlike every Ti-XX which require instructions in math text books to explain how to use them + additional teacher tech support, because Ti is so very unintuitive)Cons:I would prefer all buttons to be white with colored lettering, rather than black with colored letteringMisc:I'm dumbfounded when I hear stories of students returning Casio models and replacing them with Ti models, because the school teachers tell them they don't know how to use a Casio
