You could always use virtual machines and compartment your computing into different buckets. Get some beefy laptop with good specs and you can assign however much RAM you want to each VM. 2048MB should be sufficient for each machine. Personally though, before using VMs I thought I would be super productive and switch between VMs, but over time I realized having only one VM open at a time was enough, including the host/hypervisor.
