We start the first week after Christmas with a number of deals. First up is a 2.13GHz MacBook Air laptop for $1,100. (You can also get the same hardware, plus a bundle of 4GB memory and three years of AppleCare for $1,966.) Also on tap is the latest crop of price cuts from the iPhone App Store, including “Awareness Headphones” an auditory app. We wrap-up the deal spotlight with “Solomon’s Key,” an action role-playing game for the iPhone or iPod touch that is free.

Along the way, we’ll also check out some hardware deals, such as a 27-inch iMac and a unibody MacBook Pro laptop. Additionally, there are after-Christmas discounts on cases for your iPhone and iPod touch. As always, details on these and many other deals can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.

A couple weeks ago, one of my friends brought me a new MacBook Air from the States, and as he delivered it to me, he — a die-hard Windows user — eloquently endorsed Apple’s sexy new, razor thin ultraportable by noting that as far as was concerned, “using this laptop is what living in the future feels like” and that “I’ll definitely buy one, because this computer will get you laid.”

He’s not an exception: I’ve turned more Windows-loving heads with the new MacBook Air than any other laptop I’ve ever owned. It looks like makers of Windows PCs have noticed the same thing, because Acer, Asus and Lenovo are all set to ape the MacBook Air’s incredible design.

The other day, as I was stuffing my new 11.6-inch MacBook Air in my tote, I once again felt that bubble of warm gratitude that after twenty odd years of waiting, someone had finally come along and given me the perfect writer’s laptop that I’ve always wanted: the perfect amalgam of extreme portability married to great battery life and a sturdy, pleasant-to-use keyboard.

I’d had such pleasant reveries before, but this time, it was punctuated with a bit of sadness, as I remembered the many journals I’d carried around over the years — a rather absurd addiction of mine, given that I rarely wrote anything of worth in them — and realized that the new MacBook Air was effectively more convenient to carry around than even the composition notebooks I used to lug with me when I wanted to travel light but still be able to do some quick writing if the inspiration struck.

It’s weird that I’m sad that the MacBook Air obviated a kind of notebook that I never really used anyway, but I liked having all sorts of notebooks around, and now there’s no point in buying any new ones. I guess I’ll have to content myself in the future with the likes of this composition notebook skin for MacBook Air, which takes its attention to detail right down to the simulation of the note page’s fuzzy, blue lined rule.

We wrap up another week with a variety of both hardware and software deals. First up is a 13-inch MacBook Air, powered by the Core 2 Duo running at 2.13GHz for $1,125. (We have a number of other hardware deals for other MacBooks, as well as iMacs.) Also on tap are a number of apps for your iPhone and iPad. EA has various well-known games, such as “Scrabble” for the Apple tablet. The iPhone App Store releases a new crop of freebies, including “Battle Bears -1.”

As usual, details on these and many other items, can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.

Sure, this is a pretty big gimmick, but we’re impressed none the less: behold an 11-inch MacBook Air driving four displays at once. From right to left, the MacBook Air is driving a 20-inch Apple Cinema Display through the Mini DisplayPort a 7-inch Mimo 720-S display through USB, its own internal display and an Apple IIc running a terminal session through a serial cable, presumably through another USB adapter. This, my friends, is the most lurid Mac porn you’ll see all day,

We start off another week with a mix of deals for your iPhone, iPad and iPod. To kick things off, there is a deal on a 1.4GHz 12-inch MacBook Air for just $1,104. Next is a new crop of price cuts for iPhone apps, including the “Nightstand” alarm clock. Finally, there is a deal on iPad cases, some marked down as low as 70 percent off.

Along the way, we also take a look at a number of other bargains, including a stand and folio for your iPad, a Sony radio dock for your iPod, and a 24-inch LED Cinema Display for your Mac.

As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.

The new MacBook Air is a remarkably solid wafer of hardware, especially after the recent EFI Firmware Update that solved the occasional issue of graphics corruption when the Air wakes up from sleep.

It looks, though, like there may be a new crisis brewing and a new glitch to address, this time with the Air’s ability to play nice with he official USB Ethernet Adapter.

Apple has released another software update for the new 11 and 13-inch MacBook Air models. This update, which is an EFI firmware upgrade, follows the previous update released shortly after the new MacBook Air went on sale and other alleged fixes in Mac OS X 10.6.5.

According to Apple, “This update resolves a rare issue where MacBook Air boots or wakes to a black screen or becomes unresponsive. This update is recommended for all 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air (late 2010) models. ”

Chrome started life as a browser, now it’s an OS. Well, sort of an OS. If you’re only running one application, you don’t need much OS.

The Chrome Notebook is Google’s very early foray into the world of hardware – backed, of course, by its extensive existing online software products. Here’s an overview video:

The Chrome Notebook has a full size keyboard, 8 hour battery life, a built-in webcam, and both wifi and 3G connectivity. You log in with your Google Account. The Chrome browser treats webapps the way the iTunes Store treats iOS apps: you can browse them, and “install” them. Each app runs in a separate tab.

Want one? You’ll have to apply like everyone else. Good luck.

We start the week with a deal on the MacBook Air. The offer includes a MacBook Air with an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.13GHz. The machine also features a 13.3-inch screen – all for $1,125. There is another iPad stand under the deal spotlights. This one from Keydex also offers a screen protector two-pack along with free shipping. We wrap up the today’s featured deals with the latest crop of freebies from the iPhone App Store, including “Assault Squadron.”

Along the way, we’ll take a look at more hardware deals, such as iMacs and iPod nanos. We’ll also look at accessories for your iPhone and software for your Mac. As always, details on these and many other deals can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
