Nevertheless the identification number TI-508 points to a handheld calculator, it could be called a "small desktop" machine. The calculator is based on the earlier TI-502.

A similar calculator was later sold as TI-1795, an identification number clearly borrowed from the desktop line. Already in 1992 the TI-508 PLUS introduced a slightly changed design.

Don't miss the odd TI-808 and the TI-510.
