If a lease is what you really need, call up CDW. I don’t know what they offer on individual machines, but when I needed 40 desktops they worked with me.
Watch the terms, though; you’re likely locking in for 2 years if you don’t want to deal with penalties—I’m not aware of anything for laptops like the phone-a-year deals that some wireless carriers offer.

It still doesn’t solve my problem.

The inventory fluctuates, admittedly. My last machine, an MBA, was purchased from there, but suffered from the stupid keyboard problem, which went out just after Apple Care expired. Eventually, I fixed it, and it sits in the lab awaiting times when nothing works better than macOS in a test situation.
This said, I have two colleagues that found the refurb deals cheaper than their Apple university prices. None of theirs has had a problem.
Refurbs appear quickly. Might help.

I don't think they will have 'refurb' products the same day they ship pre-order for the machine I want. Never been a fan of a refurb. I see your point, but it doesn't solve my problem.

For whatever reasons, people return machines. Apple re-manufactures them. They look no different from a retail-packaged machine. The specs are very important to your work, so selections should be made to follow your exact requirements. They cost about 10% less, sometimes more. If there's something ugly, it's always noted, but I haven't seen an ugly note in years. Although I don't buy Apple any more, others that I've recommended have had very good results.

What do you mean by the refurb store? Are these brand new latest machines?

I don't know of a program that does that. Apple does offer (via paypal credit), decent deals, especially through their refurb store, https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac/macbook-pro and I've shopped there before, and recommend it for taking some of the sting out of retail prices. Apple Care is suggested.

Hello All
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?
