I bought a Dell linux laptop in 2008 with Ubuntu that I used as a primary machine for a few years. This was a few years later of course, but linux machines were definitly "doable" back then. I still have it. It runs xubuntu (14.04) well.

It would probably run Xubuntu 16.04 just as well too :) My Dell desktop form the same year does.

Lubuntu is even lighter.

I have modern hardware but still use Lubuntu.
