        <div>Considering my line of work, where I am mostly traveling, I
          prefer having the most powerful MacBook on the block. Apple
          just released a new MacBook Pro and I would love to upgrade to
          it (I upgraded to Vega 20 model in Jan this year). However, I
          don't want to go through the hoops of selling old devices. Is
          there any way I can stay on the latest Apple hardware?<br>
