We close out the week with another Mac hardware showcase. This time, the Apple store has a number of refurbished iMacs on sale, including a 21.5-inch LED-backlit model running a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor for $999. Also on the price-chopping block: a 13.3-inch 2.4GHz MacBook Pro for $1,049 and a 15″ 2.53GHz MacBook Pro for $1,629.
Along the way, we check out software bargains and other gadgets. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page, which starts right after the jump.
