Suggestions for multi-tasking laptop

Good day. I need some help picking out a new laptop and was wondering if I could get some suggestions from the members here.

The laptop will be for personal and business use and needs to be able to run multiple applications simultaneously with ease. It also has to have a Windows OS. As far as budget, I'm undecided, but I'm prepared to spend over $1,500. If you could, maybe suggest a low end laptop around $1,500 and another slightly better machine around the $2,000-$2,200 mark.

To give you an idea of what the machine will be handling on a daily basis, listed below are the applications I currently have running and usually have running at all times.

--Google Chrome with 7 tabs open (blogs/forums)
--Photoshop CS4 with 3 files open, the largest being a 2550x3300 pixel, 35MB file
--Spotify
--Microsoft Word
--FilaZilla Cilent
--IrfanView

In an effort to help you better select a laptop for my needs, I've included a link below to a screenshot of my task manager so you can see how much memory these applications are using.

ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for your help in advance.

 

Exitting / end-tasking File Explorer

I've found the easiest way to exit / end-task File Explorer in Windows 10- so, if anyone wants an easy method, then just refer to this post:

If you're encountering a problem / bug with your Windows 10 system, and a website told you to end-task File Explorer:

• Move your cursor to the place on the taskbar where it shows the date and time.
• Click Ctrl + Shift keys and then, still holding, right click on the place where it shows date and time.
• There will be an option called, 'Exit File Explorer'. Click it.
• If you need to start File Explorer back, click Ctrl + Shift + Esc buttons together (as everyone knows). The Task Manager appears.
• Click 'File' > click 'Run new task' > type 'explorer' or 'explorer.exe' and hit enter.
• Wait till it loads.

Over! That was easy, wasn't it?

You can use my easy method. Or use the hard way - I'm not insisting to use this way.
