We start with a deal on an 2.4GHz MacBook. The computer, with a 13-inch LED-backlit screen is $989.99, but includes a $65 rebate, bringing the price way down. Also, nothing’s better than a game of bubble-shooting. There is a deal on Dubble for the iPad – just $4. Finally, “Put Things Off,” the perfect to-do application for procrastinators.

Along the way, we also check-out various app price drops, speakers and software for your iPhone, iPod and Mac. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
