Was decided on a mac book air 13 inch until talking with my brother. He was
going on and on abut the new iPad pro 13 inch. He said that with the blue tooth
keyboard it comes with it can do just about everything you need. Have any of
you had your hands on the new iPad pro? If you could only pick
nstructor.
