The Edge is great for what it is intended to be used for (ex. if you are in the target market.) Consequently, I plan on keeping mine for 2-3 before I upgrade because, as far as I am concerned, it is functional and fits my needs. If you are simply someone looking for an iPad or laptop replacement you probably won't be happy with it. However, if you are looking at reading, annotating, note taking, schooling, professional uses, etc., it will be great for your needs.
