We start off the day with a deal on the MacBook Air. The Apple Store is offering a number of refurbished MacBook Airs, starting at $849 for a 1.4GHz 64GB SSD unit with 2GB of RAM. Also on tap are several refurbished iPads with price cuts up to $100 from the Apple Store, starting at $429 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model. We wrap up the day’s deal spotlight with an iLuv iPod docking speaker for just $27.
Along the way, we’ll also take a look at other speaker units, a flip case for your iPod touch, as well as software for your Mac. As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
