Mac V PC for new account.

Hello,

Two issues:

1. Performance
2. Compliance

1. I'm about to purchase a license for Articulate. I'm currently using a maxed-out (RAM and processor) 2018 MacBook Pro. I've used Macs exclusively in my career, but am concerned that I don't have enough muscle remaining to run Articulate on a virtual machine. Will the software run well enough to do solid eLearning dev on this machine, or should I pick up a Dell gaming laptop to get up and running? 
2. Not ready to buy a new Mac but will be in the coming year. Will running it on two different machines be a license issue moving forward or can I transfer it later?

Thank you!
