The TI 30 was one of the first commercially available low-priced calculators that had two-line display and backspace to correct or edit data entry. The dual-power and scrolling display features were also once unusual, the bottom line (shows results) displays up to a 10-digit answer along with a 2-digit exponent.
The TI 30 is a pretty tough gadget for sure, it can go one for years without breaking down, yes, the buttons are on the small side and there is a bit of play, but this was never a major problem.
Now that high school math is more difficult than it once was, if you need graphing capability, then obviously this is not the choice for you, however if your needs are not that taxing (and you better ask your teacher for this) then the TI 30 even today does its job wonderfully.
