So here we are: Graduation and Father’s Day. What’s the best gift for your dad or grad?
Connecting Point has a simple solution for both: A new Mac!
College-bound grads get a competitive edge with a new MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro.
And Dad gets something he’ll use and appreciate all year ‘round with a portable Mac — or maybe he’d prefer the sleek, all-in-one brilliance of an iMac desktop.
Connecting Point wants to make it easy. This weekend, buy any new Mac with AppleCare, and get a $50 Connecting Point gift card.
You may also opt to get a highly capable $100 EPSON Expression XP-310 All-in-One printer/scanner/copier/fax for half price!*
And if you bring in your old computer, Mac or PC, working or not, we’ll give you an additional $50 credit toward your new Mac. And yes, you can combine this with both of the first two offers, saving yourself $150 in the process.
Get your new Mac from the the experts who know Apple best. Connecting Point offers four decades experience, introductory classes, free iCoach sessions, special financing, and complimentary up-and-running tech support.
It’s the DADS AND GRADS MAC SALE at Connecting Point, this weekend, Friday, May 29th through Monday, June 1st.
And right smack in the middle of the sale, on Saturday, May 30th, we’ll be hosting a live radio remote with Hot 98.9 FM from 11 am to 1 pm. During the broadcast, stop by in person to enter for a chance to win a Disneyland Family Vacation Giveaway, a vacation package for four that includes three-day/one park-per-day Park Hopper passes, a $500 Visa card credit, $800 lodging and airfare. (See official contest rules here.)

Just a hair over a half-inch thick (at its thickest point). Just a smidge over two pounds.
It can only be the all-new Apple MacBook. With its groundbreaking new ultra-slim design, razor-sharp Retina display and innovative USB-C multi-purpose port, the new MacBook is unlike any other notebook. It’s the lightest, most compact Mac notebook ever. It even comes in three different colors: Silver, Space Gray (shown) and Gold. And we’ve just gotten them in stock,* at both Connecting Point locations.
You really have to see, touch, and lift this stunning new design to appreciate it. So come down and check out the latest from Apple, at the place that knows Apple best: Connecting Point Computer Centers…For four decades, your local, independent experts.
*Not every model and color is in stock, and supplies are still constrained. Shop early for best selection.

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.
