Sadly, green tint is pretty universal. You may find that the EE feels like a monster (size/weight/bulk) if you're coming from a PE, and instead of the little IR sensor, you should have a physical knobby mouse thingie. But it's a much larger writing/reading surface, and a lot more comparable to a netbook. As long as you don't have fantasies of using it with one hand standing on the subway, you should enjoy!
