We start off another week with another deal on the MacBook Air from Apple. This offer lasts until 4:30pm ET today and includes a 1.4GHz MacBook Air with a 12-inch screen for $850. Next is a way to convert all of that vinyl sitting around into digital tunes for your iPod. The Ion ISB Vinyl Turntable is just $59. We round out our spotlight deals with a small USB hard drive with hefty storage – 1TB.

Along the way, we check out FM transmitters for your iPhone, along with storage and other gadgets of interest to the iPod, iPad or iPhone owner. As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
