I mention coreboot and libreboot, because some of those devices are really old.
I have a thinkpad x230 and a thinkpad x200, both have coreboot and/or libreboot neither use intel me, Right now on my x200 which doesn't use Devuan it uses at most 1GB usually, but on my devuan laptop, which is an x230 it barely uses 4GB of ram unless I am doing wine-staging gaming. My point being, 8GB of Ram is way more than enough. Unless you are a serious developer in which case, get 16GB of ram.

It's really very easy to find out.
Downoad the desktop-live *.iso, dd it to a USB drive (do read the README.desktop-live.txt first, that's what it is there for) and boot the notebook from that.
If any problems arise, check dmesg to see what's going on and post here.
Cheers,
A.
