As you have seen, lots of people recommend Mint. I use Slackware
myself, but that's not suitable for everybody; although sometimes
Debian if it's not a machine I need to micromanage.

I am not familiar with Mint, but for a low powered laptop, the
choice of window manager can be important. I tend to recommend
xfce as one that will seem friendly enough but will not overtax
your system, as e.g. kde or gnome might.
