Revision as of 02:30, 17 January 2022
A calculator is typically a portable electronic device used to perform calculations, ranging from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics.
The first solid-state electronic calculator was created in the early 1960s. Pocket-sized devices became available in the 1970s when microprocessors were first developed.
Computer operating systems as far back as early Unix have included interactive calculator programs such as dc and hoc, and calculator functions are included in almost all personal digital assistant (PDA) type devices, the exceptions being a few dedicated address book and dictionary devices.
In addition to general purpose calculators, there are those designed for specific markets. For example, there are scientific calculators which include trigonometric and statistical calculations. Some calculators even have the ability to do computer algebra. Graphing calculators can be used to graph functions defined on the real line, or higher-dimensional Euclidean space. Basic and scientific calculators are cheaper than graphing models.
Even gaming is possible on some TI models, the TI-83 is an example and it can run Pong, Tetris and Doom. The newer model TI-Nspire is the most powerful and it can run 3D graphics and emulators.

Generations of TI-83/84 hardware
There are actually 3 generations of TI-83/84 hardware, despite all of them being categorized under the same TI-83/84 model number. Notice that assembly programs written for one generation won't be able to run on a TI-83/84 with another generation of hardware.
- Monochrome Z80: Featuring Zilog Z80 microprocessor, monochrome LCD, and AAA batteries. Including TI-83/84 Plus (Sliver Edition) and all their variations such as TI-83 Plus.fr, TI-84 Plus Pocket etc.
- Color Z80: Featuring Zilog Z80 microprocessor but with color LCD and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. There is only one model in this generation: TI-84 Plus C Sliver Edition.
- eZ80: Featuring Zilog eZ80 microprocessor with color LCD and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Including TI-83 Premium CE (Python Edition) and TI-84 CE (Python Edition).

TI-89 series
TI-89 is a series of graphic calculators equipped with Motorola MC68000 microprocessors and computer algebra system called Advanced Math Software (AMS).
TI-89 could be considered as a miniaturized version of TI-92/Voyage200, as they share literally the exact same hardware and software architecture (that is also why some TI-89 emulators could also emulate TI-92/Voyage200), while TI-92/Voyage200 is huge in size thanks to their horizontal screen and QWERTY keyboard.

monochrome graphic models
HP monochrome graphic calculators are a big family of products sharing similarities while each product has its unique features.
Older models run on in-house developed 4-bit "Saturn" processors. Newer models have an unusual practice that emulates the Saturn processor via an ARM processor, so technically speaking those calculator models are actually emulation boxes.
