Heed the ancient warning: Do not use fingers on a touchscreen on Friday the 13th! Bad luck! Bad, bad luck.
(You’ve heard that one, right? Everyone’s heard that one. It’s well documented. Somewhere.)
To that end, we present this week’s Deal: A half-dozen colorful stylus pens, normally selling for 30 bucks, on sale for a superstitiously low $9.99. It even includes a couple of nifty lanyards, to keep that stylus within easy reach at all times.
And these are universal styli, compatible with virtually any touchscreen, be it on your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android device, whatevs. They’ve got super-gentle rubber tips, so your screen surface stays glassy-smooth. And colors. These colors! You’ll be able to accessorize a stylus with any wardrobe choices you can come up with.
In short, these are cool. These are cheap. And these will likely go fast. So grab a different kind of six-pack for the weekend, before they’re gone, gone gone.

UPDATED 02.06.15: HELD OVER! This DOTW will continue this week (while supplies last).
Rock. Talk. Charge. Amplify. Control.
The BRAVEN 570 Bluetooth Speaker will make you the life of the party, granting you the power to socialize your music, media and more. Yes, it’s a quick and easy way to wirelessly connect your smart devices, using Bluetooth. But it also serves as an auxiliary charger for those devices. And as a hands-free speakerphone. You can even chain multiple BRAVEN 570s together (the required cable is included) for even more thumping sound anywhere, any time.
- 10 Hour Playtime with 1200 mAh battery
- Dual custom HD drivers with 6 Watt speaker output
- Integrated noise-canceling microphone
- Wirelessly stream your music over Bluetooth
- Take calls hands free through built-in microphone
- Charge mobile devices from a built in power bank
- Control tracks and volume right from the speaker
- Daisy chain additional speakers together for even more sound
These speakers normally retail for $99.99, but as this week’s DOTW, we’re letting them go for a laughably low $49.99 – that’s half price, for those of you keeping score at home. And we have several colors besides black to choose from – but you’d best come in soon to get the hue you prefer.

It’s late January, folks. Dead of winter.
A time of short days, long nights – and rapidly-cooling mugs. While we can’t do much about the first two things (other than advise “hang in there, Spring is coming!”), we can help keep your coffee, your tea, your yerba maté, or your covert bourbon piping hot.
This beverage warmer plugs into a standard USB port, and not only maintains your drink at optimum warmness, but also doubles as a handy little four-port USB hub.
Best of all, because it’s our first DOTW of the new year, we’re slashing its price. Like, a lot. Like, in half.
That’s right: Our USB Beverage Warmer/Four-Port Hub normally sells for $29.99, but you can grab one now for just $14.99.

Excellent news for businesses: President Obama approved the extension of Section 179 to 2013 levels (as part of a larger tax extensions bill).
So what does that mean? Just this: Business owners will be able to deduct up to $500,000 worth of qualifying equipment and property* that were bought (or financed) and put to use in their business during 2014. That means you still have time to purchase new (or pre-owned) Macs, PCs, printers, all-in-ones, or iOS devices from Connecting Point and receive this deduction. Connecting Point can even deliver and install the new equipment for you.
But don’t delay: the deadline is December 31st (and please remember we’ll be closing at 5pm on that day).
*Many types of equipment and property qualify for the Section 179 tax deduction. Consult with your accountant or other trusted tax advisor to discover if the equipment you are considering is eligible.

During the holiday season, many of us head for the AirPort. So it seems appropriate that, on Christmas Eve, we’re offering great deals on both AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Express is a compact wireless router and music streamer. Great for roving portable networks, easily extending an existing Wi-Fi network, and streaming your music from iTunes to your home audio setup. It offers simultaneous dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, and sets up in a flash from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. It normally sells for $99.99, but today we’re shaving 10 bucks off that price.
The all-new AirPort Extreme offers up to 3x faster Wi-Fi, utilizing the lightning-fast 802.11ac standard. It also features simultaneous dual-band support, and allows for printer and hard drive sharing via its built-in USB port. And its intelligent, powerful beamforming antenna array makes for a stronger, clearer, and faster Wi-Fi signal. Normally $199.99, today you can pick one up for $20 off.
And so ends this year’s ‘12 Days of Savings.’ Thanks to all of you for your unflagging support during the past year – and in years past. Believe it or not, Connecting Point will be celebrating its 40th birthday next year! Have a wonderful holiday, stay safe, and the best of wishes for you and yours in the coming new year.
PLEASE NOTE: Connecting Point will be closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, and we will be closing at 5 PM today (December 24th) and on New Year’s Eve.
This offer will be available all day Wednesday, December 24th, 2014.
