We start off with three hardware deals, one for the desktop, one for the laptop and one for the on-the-go. First up is a Core i3 iMac running at 3.06GHz with a 22-inch screen. Next is a 1.4GHz MacBook Air, along with several other Airs from the Apple Store. We wrap the spotlight up with a deal on a 32GB iPod touch with FaceTime for $232.
Along the way, we also check out other hardware and add-ons, ranging from the Xserve to a 27-inch Cinema Display. As usual, details on these and many other items can be found at the CoM “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
