Hi! I'm having a hard time understanding how hard would it be to connect all my peripherals to a 2016 non-touchbar Macbook Pro. The problem in my situation is that I need to use multiple at once, not only the fact that none of them are USB-C. I do photoshop stuff from 2d game and app design to photo editing, I will still use my desktop PC for most of the heavy work but I will use the macbook for ios app related tasks mostly and some photo editing.
So the most common peripherals are:
-A specific USB mouse (no cable variants, classic USB connection)
-Wacom Pro Graphic tablet (classic USB)
-External HDD
I will need these 3 above connected same time
-I would also like to connect to my 4K TV
-SD Card, sometimes, to transfer photos to the external HDD.
From what I see so far I am tempted to go for the 2015 model, would be much easier when it comes to connections. The 2016 touchbar version (4xUSB-C) seems too expensive for me right now and I still don't think it's as easy to use as the 2015 version.
