We start another week of deals with a number of Mac Pro Xeon workstations. The units from the Apple Store start at $2,039 for a Quad Core Xeon 2.66GHz. Next is a leather flip stand for the iPad. (We also include several other iPad cases.) Finally, there is a deal on Apple’s Final Cut Studio 3, which bundles Final Cut Pro 7, Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro 3, Compressor 3.5, DVD Studio 4, and Color 1.5 — all for $709.
Along the way, we all take a peek at several software titles, ranging from Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to the backup and synchronization tool Sync Pro 6.
As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
