For decades, Texas Instruments (TI) graphing calculators have been a staple in classrooms, aiding students in algebra, pre-calculus, and beyond. Now, the company has introduced an upgraded model tailored for the modern era: the TI-84 Evo.

The new calculator boasts several enhancements designed to improve the learning experience. It features a three-times-faster processor than its predecessor, along with a 50% increase in graphing space. The keypad has been redesigned for simplicity, and the device now supports USB-C charging. A standout feature allows users to trace along graphs to pinpoint areas of interest.

TI markets the TI-84 Evo as a distraction-free alternative to calculator apps on phones or computers. Unlike those apps, the TI-84 Evo is a single-purpose device—built to excel at math without the interference of notifications, social media, or even Wi-Fi. As TI puts it, the calculator is "designed to do one thing exceptionally well — math."

For those needing a quick break from equations, the calculator retains the classic "58008" Easter egg—a humorous nod to upside-down anatomical slang.
