The TI-5008 looks like the cheaper sibling of the TI-5000. Actually the design was changed to fit to the "office grey" color of other products.
The desktop line then covered 6 different calculators:
• TI-5008 Pocket-sized, thermal printing • TI-5010 Small-sized, standard paper • TI-5032 Desktop-sized, battery option • TI-5130 10-digits, standard paper • TI-5142-III 12-digits, standard paper • TI-5020 Non-printing, solar powered |
The same thermal printer was used on calculators like the rare TI-45 MSP.
In 1984 the design of the TI-5008 was slightly changed, compare it here.
