We wrap up another week of Mac deals with three bargains in the spotlight. MacConnections is now offering a discount on Apple’s recently released MacBook Air laptops. The $969 deal includes an 11.6-inch unit with a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 64GB SSD. Also on tap is a bevy of iPhone games from EA, including Sims 3, Spore Creatures and more. Finally, there is a deal on the iDuo iPod/iPhone dock with card reader.
Along the way, we’ll also take a look at iPhone hardware and Mac software. As usual, details on these and many other bargains can be found on CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
