    Did you order anything today?

    I ordered a new iPad Pro 10" 128GB in Space Grey. I used to have the 12.9 iPad Pro but found it too big. I already have a 15" Mac Book Pro 2018 TB so I don't need another big device to carry. I also want to use the iPad with my Mavic Pro 2... If it fits... Let me know what/if you ordered today...
