In summary, the conversation discusses the need for a new calculator as a replacement for a beloved HP 32Sii, which was introduced in 1991. The suggested options include the Casio FX-115ES for general use, the TI-Nspire for graphing capabilities (though with a potentially inconvenient key arrangement), or Wolfram|Alpha for calculations. Another option mentioned is the HP35s, which is a natural substitute for the HP 32Sii with similar features and a lower price point.

It all depends on what you plan on doing with it, but I love my Casio FX-115ES.
And if you want something that can graph, TI-Nspire's are nice. I don't like doing calculations on it though, because of the key arrangement. Or you can just use Wolfram|Alpha
