Is Microsoft Office right for you?

Short answer: YES — it’s still the gold standard for a reason.

Whether you’re a student, small business owner, teacher, or just managing household stuff, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, etc.) remains incredibly powerful, reliable, and compatible with pretty much everything. The latest versions are faster, more cloud-friendly with OneDrive, and packed with helpful AI features that actually save you time.

The big question isn’t usually “Is it good?” — it’s “Which version is right for me and how do I get the best deal?”

That’s where we come in! 💻

At Connecting Point in Medford, we carry all the latest versions of Microsoft Office — including Office 2024 and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. We’ll help you choose the right one for your needs, answer all your questions, and make sure you’re set up for success.

Stop by today or give us a call — we’re happy to help you get the most out of Microsoft Office without the confusion.

Apple AirTags Buyer’s Guide – Everything You Need to Know!

Looking for the perfect way to keep track of your keys, wallet, backpack, luggage, or even your pet? Apple AirTags are one of the smartest and most reliable tracking devices on the market. Here’s our complete buyer’s guide to help you decide:

Why AirTags Rock:
Precision Finding – Uses the massive Apple Find My network (hundreds of millions of devices) to locate your stuff anywhere.
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology – Get directional arrows and exact distance when you’re close (works best with iPhone 11 and newer).
Built-in speaker – Play a sound to find your item nearby.
Water & dust resistant (IP67) – Survives rain, spills, and the bottom of your bag.
Long battery life – Replaceable CR2032 coin battery lasts over a year.
Privacy focused – Apple designed them with anti-stalking features and encrypted location data.
Best Ways to Use AirTags:
Keys & keychains
Wallets & passports
Backpacks & laptop bags
Luggage & travel gear
Bikes, scooters, or even your car
Pet collars (with a good holder)
Current Pricing (as of May 2026):
Single AirTag: $29
4-pack: $99 (best value – saves you $17)
Pro Tip: Get the 4-pack! Most people end up wanting more than one.

Accessories We Recommend:
Leather or silicone keychain holders
Wallet inserts
Luggage tags
Pet collar holders
Important Things to Know:
Works best in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Mac)
Android users can still use them via the Find My app (but with limited features)

Zoom Meeting Setup Buyer's Guide: Look & Sound Professional!
Whether you're joining important client calls, teaching classes, hosting webinars, or catching up with family — a good Zoom setup makes all the difference. Here's your complete buyer's guide for everything you need to join and host meetings like a pro.

The Essentials
Computer/Laptop A reliable machine with at least an Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 (or Apple M1/M2+), 16GB RAM, and a solid we**am. Pro tip: Newer laptops with built-in 1080p we**ams are great starting points.
We**am (if your computer is outdated or lacks one): Look for 1080p or 4K resolution, autofocus, and good low-light performance. Popular options: Logitech C920, C922, or higher-end models like the Logitech Brio or Obsbot Tiny.
Microphone Don’t rely on your laptop’s built-in mic!
USB desktop mic (Blue Yeti, Fifine, or HyperX)
Headset with boom mic (great for clear audio)
Wireless lavalier (lapel) mic for maximum freedom
Headphones / Earbuds Noise-canceling options help you hear clearly and keep conversations private.
Level Up Your Setup
Lighting – This is a game-changer! Ring lights, LED panels, or softboxes positioned at eye level eliminate harsh shadows.
Green Screen + Backdrop Go professional with a wrinkle-resistant green screen + stand. Pair it with Zoom’s virtual background feature for a clean, branded look.
Stable Internet Wired Ethernet connection > WiFi when possible. Consider a WiFi 6 router or mesh system if your signal is spotty.
Extras for Hosts & Power Users
External monitor or second screen
Adjustable tripod or we**am stand
Keyboard & mouse for better control
Presentation clicker/remote
Good chair and desk setup for long meetings
Pro Tip
You don’t need to buy everything at once. Start with a good we**am + microphone combo and build from there.

Need help choosing the right gear for your budget and needs?
