I recently obtained a TI-89 Titanium off of Amazon.com. I really, really like it.

[numerical_jerome]

any of the TI-8X series or TI-21X series can be programmed in TI-basic or assembly (Z80), and most of the models in current manufacture have an enlarged RAM / enlarged ROM model associated with them (usually name Silver / Titanium / other transition metal...). All models (at least the one's I've owned / used) had fairly complete overview to TI-basic and the particular model's API in the owner's manual.

the TI-83 is a lower cost machine that can be hooked to a PC via USB, and has moderate storage, processor, and a slimmer firmware

the TI-89 has a much more involved firmware, and can also be connected to a PC. This model tends to more pricey.

Unfortunately, it seems the TI-86 appears to no longer be marketed, I had one for about 8 years (it got me through university), finally died when the LCD failed.

I've not used any of HP's machines, but I've heard good things about them.

Hope this helps,

The TI-89 uses 68k assembly (it's a different processor).

BTW: I had a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition before, and I could never go back!
