Apparently, in France the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition was finally leaked, as the TI-83 Premium or the TI-83 Premium CE. See http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15548&p=172658 for more info.
By the way, this is definitively real, unless the name changes in the near future. The reason why I decided to put this topic in humors and jokes is because TI calc names have pretty much became a joke altogether. O.O
-
Yes, French calc names are extremely confusing. I can recognize them with specs and design though. :P
-
Seems like Brandon will have to buy more calculators.
-
That said, I seriously hope that THIS calc is actually a 84+CSE, not a 6 MHz color calc. I know the 83 Plus.Fr is now 15 MHz, but with TI, we never know.
-
Before the leak, the TI-83 Premium CE was properly and officially introduced by TI-France at the "Journées Nationales APMEP 2014" in Toulouse (so not "publicly" as if it was on the website, for example, but still...), cf. the topic here (https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=15401) ;)
So, the model itself is not news (especially since its existence is known since April 2014), however the leak from the school (which erased its PDF files since) revealed some information (well, not that much...) about it...
The name is not going to change.
-
Ah right so it's CE. Weird name since there's not even a plus in it >.<
I also remember that April news. Didn't it have a mockup of a 83+ running a GB emulator?

The 84 Pocket.fr doesn't have a plus in it either, even though the 84 Plus Pocket SE does...
TI has always been so logical with names :P
-
Actually the 84 Pocket.Fr is even worse, because when the TI-83 Plus.Fr USB came out, TI still sold the Pocket.Fr for a while afterward. The problem is that the Pocket model was sold at much higher price (original 84+ price) than the 83 Plus.Fr USB (83+ price). So basically, a calc with fewer RAM and no cover was actually more expensive than its 1.5 MB counterpart >.<
-
Fitting your calc in your pocket is priceless :P
(even though I can fit my 84+SE in my pockets without any problem).
-
Same here, but it depends of the pants. Back in the late 90's and early 2000's, when the "Yo!" fashion came up, pants usually could fit two calcs per pocket. That said, in the early 90's I remember that pants usually couldn't even fit a wallet because pockets were even smaller than they are today.
