One of the reasons we all love our Macintosh Computers is because they are nearly trouble-free. Now that Malware for Macs is so wide-spread, having a quick check-up every once in a while makes a whole lot of sense and, as they age, there are often other issues which could use some attention. Our team of Apple Authorized, skilled technicians can optimize performance, eliminate small problems, and help identify big ones before they get out of hand.

Recently, we’ve had a massive increase in the number of customers using legacy Internet Service Provider (ISP) email systems that are having increasing difficulty getting new mail, sending mail, or moving their account to a new computer or modern OS. If you have an email address ending in @snet.net, @sbcglobal.net, or several others which no longer exist, you are in jeopardy of losing access to that email and we strongly recommend switching to an email system not tied to your ISP such as Gmail or iCloud. 

Come to Visionary Computer and learn all about Apple’s new HomePod. We are hosting a free “Tech Talk” where we will present information about the HomePod followed by a live demonstration of the HomePod.

Apple recently released a statement regarding iPhone batteries and performance. In that statement, they offered reduced pricing on battery replacements for qualifying iPhones during the year 2018. Without getting into specifics, Apple’s pricing is well below our costs. Apple can afford to subsidize the battery replacement in their own stores, unfortunately we can not. We are however reducing our iPhone battery replacement pricing down to just $79.95 including parts, labor, and testing.

We’re about to celebrate our first Holiday Season in our new store! To help make it merry and bright, our elves have been hard at work curating the very best in Apple technology products. The list below is a sampling of our favorites and, at least as of when we sent this email, they are all in stock and ready for immediate sale. We’ve got great items at nearly every price point. So please stop by and see how Visionary Computer, your local hometown Apple Premier Partner, can help make you the hero of your holidays.

Visionary Computer is happy to bring back our free, open to the public, Technology Workshops, now with four different course offerings. Each workshop has about 40 minutes of presentation followed by about 20 minutes of Q&A. The workshops take place on Saturday mornings at 9am promptly in our beautiful new showroom. We encourage customers to bring their own laptop (Mac workshops) or iOS device (iOS workshops) to ensure you get the most out of your own Apple products. A limited number of Visionary Computer owned Macs will be available on a first come first served bases if you don’t have your own.

Those of you who know me know that I’m not the kind of person who pushes upgrading unless there is very good reason. I believe that every device has a life cycle and that so long as your device is still technologically capable, there is no reason to replace it. Apple makes wonderful products which last a good long time. They are reliable and relatively durable which sometimes is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that their long life gives you excellent value for your money. The curse is that…

As we have grown, so have the opportunities to provide new types of products. Today we not only sell brand new, we also have a robust offering of steeply discounted pre-owned devices. And it’s not just limited to pre-owned. Our showroom has effectively one of everything out for demonstration and when Apple refresh the lineup, we sell our demo units at steep discounts. We also occasionally get some close-out or leftover devices, many of which are brand new in sealed boxes for hundreds of dollars off the normal retail price. Want an Apple watch for $179? How about an iPad for $199? Or maybe a sealed 512GB Touch Bar MacBook Pro for $400 below the new price? If so, check out our Sale Rack.
