I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x140e (AMD A4-5000M 1.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache Quad-core, 4GB DDR3) that I am currently dual booting with Mint and Windows 8. Mint feels sluggish compared to Win8.

I am not doing much with it, I need to run the Spotify app, and a webpage for hosting game tournaments. I am using the HDMI out on the laptop to a 4x4 Matrix.

I am looking for suggestions for a lightweight as possible distro.

You should be able to simply install the 'xfce4' package via apt or software manager. It'll install the session, desktop, panel and all other widgets.

You can then log out, use a button in the top-right corner of the screen to change your session to xfce, and sign in again.
