We’ve reached Wednesday and celebrate by offering a top trio of hot bargains for Mac, iPod and iPhone fans. Let’s start with some Mac Pro Xeon workstations (2.66 – 2.93 GHz) beginning at $2,149. For iPod owners looking seeking a new look, there’s a deal on 3-packs of Kroo silicone skins for the nano. We wrap up our featured deals with a freebie from the iTunes music store: Serabee’s “Driving Me Stupid” album.
For details on these and other Mac bargains (such as the iLuv Hi-Fi alarm clock for iPod and iPhone owners), check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
The Apple Store now has five factory-refurbished Apple Mac Pro workstations on sale in its Special Deals section, with prices starting at $2,149. (With free shipping, it’s the lowest total price we’ve seen for these Mac Pros in weeks.) All are lower than the best price we could find for a new one, typically by wide margins. Sales tax is added where applicable. A 1-year warranty applies, the same as new systems. Items are removed from Apple’s site when they sell out. The refurbished Mac Pro systems:
