I had The Third Edition, but this one is absolutely great! It has everything you need.

Longman makes good dictionaries, this is no exception, although my favourite is probably the third edition. I like the fact that it does contain very contemporary words coined in the 21st century. The pages are a little too thin for my liking but it may be just me. It is missing the origin of words but I expected that as the earlier version didn't have it either. I find the colour-coding slightly confusing (the frequency of words), I definitely preferred that of the third edition. I guess one might get accustomed to it but it is inconvenient. The biggest pro is the defining Longman defining vocabulary of 2,000 words, which makes understanding quite easy. Overall I am happy with it but it could be improved.
