For some reason there's something quite comforting to me knowing that TI still sells calculators with Z80-based chips not much different than what was in the TRS-80 from 1977. I think I like that fact quite a lot more than knowing that my phone is a lot more powerful than a desktop computer was when Windows XP came out.

It's funny. Circa 1990 I think calculator enthusiasts were much more likely to be into HP, particularly devices like

but TI really took over most of the market and has most of the enthusiast interest. I have an HP Prime but I think I'm the only one, it's a really nice calculator but the algebraic mode is better than the RPN mode which makes not feel very 'HP' and at the core it is another ARM device.
