We wrap up another week with two deals for the macBook fan and the latest crop of iPhone freebies from the App Store. First up is a MacBook Pro powered by an i5 dual processor running at 2.4GHz. The unit with a 15-inch screen also comes with 8GB of memory for $1,988. We also take a look at a MacBook Core 2 Duo laptop running at 1.83GHz for $525. Finally, we also have the latest batch of free iPhone applications, including “Rhythm Spirit,” a rhythm fighting game for the iPhone.
We’ll also check out accessories for your iPad and iPhone along with software for your Mac. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
