We start off another week of deals with several MacBook Pros from the Apple Store. The laptops begin with a 2.4GHz model for $899. Next is a refurbished 8GB iPod nano (current version) for just $100. We wrap up with a deal on the Four Folded Smart Slim Cover, a version of Apple’s Smart Cover for the iPad 2.
Along the way, we’ll also take a peak at an auto-charger for the iPod and iPhone, an audio system for the iPod, the 27-inch LED Cinema Display and software for the Mac. As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
