We’ve reached mid-week with a number of Mac-related deals. First up is about nine iMacs from the Apple Store, including a $849 model with 20-inch screen and a 2.66GHz processor. Next we have a new batch of App Store freebies, including “Squism,” a puzzle game. We round out our top trio of deals with a bargain on Apple’s MagSafe power adapters for MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. The 60-watt power adapters are priced at $35.95.

Along the way, we also take a look at MacUpdate’s Spring Bundle of Mac applications for $49.99.

As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
