It’s Adorama‘s turn to clear out inventory of the Apple 15.4″ MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (Late 2016, Space Gray) as a Black Friday sale. An almost-fully upgraded model (better CPU, better graphics) is now only $1899.00.

The upgrades included on this model include the 2.9GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 (vs. 2.6GHz), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 GPU with 4GB GDDR5 (vs. 450 with 2GB).
