Best graphical calc?

Mums buying me a graphical calculator for as a birthday present (rofl im a faggot), and I've seen some sick calculators but which is the best around?
Im doing C2/FP1 atm, and A2 maths/fm next year, is it going to be extremely useful or seemingly a wste?

I bought the Casio fx-9860GII and I feel that it has been a very useful tool so far, especially in A2 maths and statistics.

You aren't allowed a graphics calculator in the exam

Just make sure whatever you get isn't on the banned list (calculators shouldn't be able to perform symbolic integration.)

Any exam paper on MEI after C1 clearly states "you are permitted to use a graphical calculator".

Haha, our school was doing some offer for that calculator so I went and bought it. Incredibly useful in so many ways, so many things that I thought that could not be done has been done by that calculator!

Use the one Michael suggested above. I cannot recommend it enough, a lot cheaper than the one you linked to.

You really don't need one. It will sit gathering dust from week to week.
