Welcome to Daily Deals, the post where we scour online retailers for discounts, offers, bundles, and sales on hardware, software, and games for you, the discerning MacNN and Electronista reader. We've checked all of yesterday's deals, ruthlessly purged the dead ones, and have added a bunch more, including a sub-$300 960GB SSD, a curved LG monitor, and a Roomba.

As always, all deals are correct at the time of going to press, but may change in the future, so check first before purchasing. Also, remember to come back to this post later, as new deals could be added to the list as the day goes on. If you spot a deal we've missed, please email us and we may add it later on.

While we'll still point out outstanding or notable deals in the daily post, we've now got an updated list at the bottom of every deals post with the last 20 or so sales prices on apps for iOS and OS X. The widget updates every 15 minutes, so check back often!

A 2011 MBP for $580-??? Putting up this refurbished 4 year old laptop as a "deal" should come with warnings. Any MBP that's pre 2012 is pretty limited within the Apple ecosystem.

Still a deal, compared to market value. I wouldn't hesitate to give that to my folks, or anybody looking for a light duty machine.

Not everybody needs a Broadwell processor.
