Based on this info, my conclusion is you can install Linux Lite 5.0.
I (still) run it on a Lenovo ThinkPad T400, which is a 2008 machine. The only thing changed from the standard configuration, is a Kingston A400 SSD and a BIOS upgrade to the latest version which is a 2012 version. So, this is old too...

Now, about the RAM...
You forgot to copy the amount of RAM. Assuming the configuration is the standard one, you have 6 GB. This is 2 GB more than I have on T400. This should help a lot, mostly on browsing the internet, which is very resource hungry.
On my current machine (see left, Dell Precision T1700) I maxed to some 3,5 GB RAM but is hard to guess the equivalent RAM consumption since my CPU is a quad core HT.
The worst scenario is that youi'll be able to browse simultaneously up to 25 web pages and some other apps running in background, which I guess, is fair enough for this gran'pa. I'd say it's quite a nice tool, given the mobility. Maybe it worths investing in a 120 - 240 GB SSD. I did it and I'm happy.
As for the storage, this is my idea of the layout:
==============================================
/dev/sda1 [primary, ext4, 20480 MB, Root. Total = 20480 MB]
/dev/sda2 [primary, ext2, 61440 MB, /home. Total = 81920 MB]
/dev/sda3 [primary, SWAP, 6144 MB, /home. Total = 88064 MB]
/dev/sda4 [primary, ext4, depends on drive's capacity MB, /data. Total = 88064 + the available MB]
UNPARTITIONED at least 10 GB, to allow bad sector reallocation.
==============================================
On a 120 GB (114,440MB): Available = 26,376. Can make a 20 GB ext4 partition, /data. Reallocation space = 5,896 MB. Fair enough for a 120 GB drive.
On the Romanian market a 120 GB SSD is somewhere at 25 - 28 USD (23 - 25 EUR).
Maybe it worths mentionong that my data partition usually holds some 3... 6 GB of data so a 20 GB partition should fit the bill!

When I do video editing, I finish the project than move it on external. For this purpose I use two 4TB drives, which hold the archive for the last 17 years of work.
Good luck!

I would be happy to hear you made it!
