1981
TI’s first solar-powered handheld calculator debuts.
TI harnesses the energy of the sun with the TI-1766, bringing to market its first solar-powered handheld calculator.
1987
TI releases its first calculator designed with teacher assistance.
The TI-12 Math Explorer — the first TI calculator designed in partnership with teachers to meet the needs of elementary and middle-school classrooms — is introduced.
1990
TI unveils its first graphing calculator.
Designed for use in algebra and precalculus courses, the TI-81 graphing calculator becomes the industry leader in handheld graphing technology.
1994
TI introduces the CBL™ data collection device.
The Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL™) System — a portable and versatile data-collection device for math and science — opens the door for students to collect and analyze real data in the classroom.
1995
TI launches its first calculator with a built-in Computer Algebra System (CAS).
The revolutionary TI-92 tool with a built-in Computer Algebra System (CAS) combines the power of a computer lab and the independence of a calculator with many capabilities that had been available only in computers and mathematics software.
1996
TI introduces a graphing calculator that supports statistics and finance.
TI adds advanced functionality for statistics and finance to the TI-82 graphing calculator by introducing the TI-83 graphing calculator, which becomes a popular programming platform for students.
1998
TI integrates Flash™ ROM technology into its calculators.
With the incorporation of state-of-the-art Flash™ ROM memory into the TI-73 Explorer™ and TI-89 Titanium graphing calculators, students can upgrade the software on their calculators and customize them by adding apps.
1999
TI releases the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator.
Updated with Flash™ ROM technology, new applications and six times the memory of the popular TI-83, the easy-to-use TI-83 Plus graphing calculator lets students graph and compare functions, as well as perform data plotting and analysis using TI’s handheld CBL™ device.
2004
TI introduces the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator
In a progression from the TI-83 Plus, the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator offers improved connectivity by adding a USB port, allowing for direct data transfer between computers and calculators. Other enhancements include a high contrast LCD display, faster processor, more memory, an internal clock and available kickstand.

- Avigo - The Last two TI organizers developed
- Advantra - was only shown at a few trade shows. It featured a built in pager.
Two versions were planned, the first looked like an oversized pocket pager with mini QWERTY keyboard.
The second was to be called the Advantra Pro and was about the same size as a PS 6600.
Neither of these went in production so only engineering models exist.
