We near the end of the week with a number of Mac-related deals. First up is a Mac Pro Quad-Core Xeon running at 2.66GHz for $2,149. Next up is a passel of newly reduced App Store items, including our favorite: “Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey.” Finally, we wrap up our top trio with a 64-inch Sharp AQUOS 65-inch LCD HDTV.
As usual, details on these and many other deals (like the 24-inch Apple Cinema Display) are available from the CoM “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
