We start off with another deal on Apple’s newly-refreshed line of MacBook Pros. This deal spotlights a 27-inch iMac sporting Intel’s i7 processor running at 2.8GHz. ExperCom also added 8GB of RAM and AppleCare, all for $2,379. Also on tap: a new batch of iPhones, including an 8GB iPhone 3G for $49. Finally, a day of dealing wouldn’t be complete with the latest round of freebies from the App Store, including “KapselRacer,” billed as a bottlecap racing game.

As usual, we also have a number of other items, including new iPod speakers, the latest deals on iTunes albums and more. Details on these and many more bargains are available on CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
