We start the week with a mix of deals for the Mac fan. First up is a series of MacBook Pro laptops, starting at $929 for a 2.4GHz unit. Next is a TuchWallet for the iPod touch and a 27-inch LED Cinema Display for just $849.
Along the way, we’ll also take a look at ways to protect your iPad, either in faux leather case or an envelope sleeve. Also on tap: software, such as iWork ’09 and Navicat for SQL Server 9. As always, details on these and many more items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
