Apple today unleashed a number of goodies, including giving iMacs and Mac Pros more oomph with new processors and increased storage options. We have those deals today, along with many more items for the Mac lover. Along with the refreshed line of iMacs and Mac Pros, we’ll also look at a number of software deals for you iPod, iPhone and Mac.
As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.

Items are removed from Apple’s web site once sold out. The models, all with free shipping:
