We start out with a MacBook, an iPod and an iPad deal. First up, the Apple Store offers several MacBook Air laptops, beginning at $849 for a 1.4GHz model with 64GB SSD and 2GB of RAM. Next, there is a deal on a 64GB iPod touch for $240. (This is the previous fifth-generation.) We wrap-up the spotlight with an iPad 2 case that also serves as a kickstand.

Along the way, we also check out other accessories for the iPhone and iPod, as well as the iPad. As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
