Which Macbook Pro should I buy to run the following softwares?

The newest MacBook Pros that have upgradeable memory are the 2012 non-retina models. A 2012 computer is an old computer soon to be designated obsolete or vintage Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support. I think your approach should be to get a newer, possible refurbished Refurbished MacBook Pro 15" - Refurbished Notebooks, 1-Year Warranty - Apple, computer with 16GB RAM and then check with the app developers as to which versions of their respective apps run on the computer you are interested in.

Same answer as your other post:

If you want a new MBP with USB ports, this is your only choice: http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLQ2LL/A&step=config#

It is also often available as a refurbished model (Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display - Apple), however, it is sometimes on sale, new, at Best Buy for about the same price, and at B&H Photo.

If you buy a 2016 or 2017, you'll need to use Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to USB adapters to get USB functionality.

Service, no. Software/update support yes. Sierra is supported all the way back to the 2010 model. El Capitan all the way back to 2007.

Why would you want a vintage/obsolete Mac that is at least five years old? Exactly what do you want to know about them?

I would get the 2015 15" I linked.
