TI officially announced the TI-82 Advanced Edition Python today by adding it to their lineup of graphing calculators on education.ti.com.

Critor broke the news this morning over on TI-Planet with a full article going into the advertised specs and some speculation about its hardware. I strongly recommend you go take a look at that thread to get all the details but here is a summary of noteworthy points.

Critor broke the news this morning over on TI-Planet with a full article going into the advertised specs and some speculation about its hardware. I strongly recommend you go take a look at that thread to get all the details but here is a summary of noteworthy points.
- It seems likely this contains the hardware of a TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python inside given the advertised specs and the relatively small amount of time between the release of the TI-83 PCEEP and the TI-82 AEP.
- I'm surprised they decided to stick with the TI-84 Plus style case as opposed to the newer/slimmer CE style case, but I think this is because of the next point:
- It will be powered by AAA batteries, not a Li-Ion battery like the CE
- It will be considerably cheaper than the TI-83 PCEEP, at an estimated 60€ (approx $72 USD), which is surprising for something that seems to have the same hardware, but I guess that's just TI's insane margins
- It will be available for back to school 2021.
- It will have 154k of ram and 3MB of flash, just like a CE...
- It looks like TI plans to continue making the TI-82 Advanced because they haven't removed it, but I'm not so sure about that because the newest we've seen was manufactured in early 2018...
- It will have an exact math engine like the TI-83 Premium CE and TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python.
- Of course, like the old TI-82 Advanced, the Python Edition will have the USB port on the top, so it can't be the exact same board as a TI-83 Premium CE, but I would expect just a rearranging of the board rather than a full redesign.
- Just like the TI-82 Advanced, there's no assembly language support.
