Maybe they are reorganizing but I don't think they are a company for a student who might come to depend on their device and who needs a device they can trust completely. Simple screen service might be weeks to months to impossible by now.

And Entourage's current corporate status and support isn't much different from companies that have been in business for years and will be for years to come. I haven't found any companies' support to be anything to write home about for the last decade. It's really quite sad.
However, the best support I've found has been from user communities and I make my purchase decisions based on that, not anything the company may or may not do in the future. If I didn't think the Edge had a solid user community, I wouldn't have mentioned it.
"Trust" in a company has nothing to do with a device's current functionality. It either satisfies a user's requirements, or it doesn't. If the user is the type of person that places their complete trust in a device, then I think they would be most concerned if they could replace the device if needed. I don't see that being a problem over the next two years or so since Hicham is looking for something to get them through their Masters.
Everything has its pros and cons. Hicham has the links needed to make an informed decision on a device that may meet their four requirements.
