Thanks for all the replies , Sarah - I should've been more specific, I was only talking about the tablet side. I don't want to use it for entertainment, I really want something to use for education which makes the EE perfect, except for the lack of support if something happens.
Edit: Ended up returning the Thrive today and ordered one of the Midnight Blue EE's, there are only
9 left now so if you're thinking of getting one don't wait too long. And if anyone's wondering who/where these are coming from - it's the Campus tech store at FAU (
