RAM is going to be the very least of your concerns in that laptop. What's your budget for a new one?

Dang, you won't be doing any of those workloads very well with a laptop in that pricerange buying new. Are you open to used machines?

In bout one month i can go as far as 1000 approx and i don't mind used gear, the other option is a desktop the thing is that i don't have a lot of space.

Oh yeah, definitely wait the month. I'd take a long hard look at the Lenovo Legion Y730. It is a gaming laptop, but it's not obnoxious red and black and its addressable RGB lighting lets it work in most any setting. Not to mention its fantastic specs for only $1,080. You're getting an i7 8750H, GTX 1050ti, 16GB of RAM, and a PCIe SSD. This thing is nothing short of an absolute bargain. The monitor is only 1080p, but considering the rest of the product, it's a tradeoff most anybody would make in a heartbeat.
