This is your lucky day if you are looking for a good deal on either an iMac, MacBook or the previous version of a Mac mini. We have multiple offers on iMacs, ranging from 24″ 2.66GHz to 24″ 3.066GHz. Also, today’s deals include a couple 13″ MacBooks. If you aren’t looking for the latest mini desktops, Apple has a deal on a previous version of the system.
