A kickass calculator with a Qwerty keyboard built into it and a landscape form factor, rather than the usual portrait form factor that 99% of calculators use. The lineage usually refers to the TI-92, the TI-92 II, the TI-92 Plus, or the Voyage 200. It runs on a
68k processor, and overall, it’s just a really nice calculator for people who really enjoy overkill. I mean for God’s sake, it runs on
4x AA batteries.
In short, the TI-92 is a Landscape format calculator that blurs the line between a Calculator and a Home Computer.
Example:
Student 1: “Is that a
Calculator? It’s so big, and it’s... sideways?”
Student 2: “It’s indeed a Calculator,
just nothing like
the usual, It’s called the TI-92.”
