The TI-84 Evo is the latest TI-84 graphing calculator, and the main draw is a modernized version of the familiar classroom standard. It keeps the key functions close to other TI-84 models, adds USB-C charging, and is described as a major update over the older CE. That said, the price is being compared with lower new-in-box listings elsewhere, and the new model is still seen as unnecessary for basic Algebra and Precalculus work. It is a familiar choice with a few useful upgrades, especially if USB-C matters.
Students who need a calculator for school classes and standardized tests, because it matches what teachers use and works on exams like the ACT.
For typical Algebra or Precalculus use, the Evo's added features may not meaningfully help most students compared with buying the same calculator used in class.
It adds user-experience updates and USB-C charging, and is described as a major update to the older TI-84 line. For typical Algebra and Precalculus use, the core functions are nearly the same, so the practical difference may be small unless you want the newer hardware and charging.
Yes. The TI-84 Evo charges over USB-C, while the older TI-84 CE uses mini-USB. That makes charging easier because it uses the same cable as many newer devices.
Yes, it is positioned as a calculator that can be used on tests where the TI-Nspire CX may not be allowed, including the ACT. It also matches the TI-84 format many teachers use in class, which can make instruction and test-day use more straightforward.
I just grabbed this yesterday. Kid's school supply list is already out. Supposed to be a nice upgrade from the 11 year old CE.
Most teachers are still telling kids to get the old 84 CE. The fact that everyone is discounting the brand new Evo so much is telling...it is not selling.

This is the calculator I'd get my children if they needed one (we have a TI-Nspire CX and an older 84). The Nspire is great but can't be used on every test (e.g., ACT) and requires the user to figure out how to do things because teachers usually teach with an 84. Figuring out how to do things is better long-term for retention, however, than just following the teacher. It's not for everyone though.
This 84 Evo has USB C charging, which makes life much easier when needing to charge it. It also apparently makes some important user experience updates and is a major update to the old 84, which wasn't much changed over its history.

Remember Hewlett Packard Calculators? I had one that could do Calculus and do Integral and Derivative. It sure helped me in my Calculus class! Back then 40 years ago it was $350

And probably the same cost for 1 semesters tuition. Nice trade off instead 10k per semester

I still have mine that had RPN. Still works great.
