How is your potato treating you?
I'm considering buying a small SSD to throw in a 2014 AMD laptop, hoping to upgrade it from "unbearable slow" to "usable for very basic web-browsing". It was a cheap laptop at the time, so I fear the CPU itself might be a bottle neck, not just the 320gb of spinning rust. (4GB ram should be sufficient for basic use though)
It runs very well basic tasks. That i3 CPU is pretty decent mobile chip. Gnome itself is bit resource hungry but I chose it because t has most mature wayland integration.
