You guys and gals are much more informed in this matter than I. I am
running Kubuntu on an old i5, with 4 cores/4 threads. It has 16GB of
RAM... The specs say it will run in 4GB of RAM -

I'm not arguing, I'm thinking this cheap little $200 laptop might be
able to meet the needs of a lot of Linux people.
I know it could be used as a simple LAMP+BIND+Mail server because I did
so on a lesser laptop last year.
And maybe it could run a lightweight desktop. And it does appear the
browser might be the short coming.
