The only thing I’d hesitate on is the integrated graphics. Tbh I have no idea how that will behave. Aurora’s system requirements lead me to conclude that if your laptop is later than ~2014, you should be okay.
My Aurora desktop starts using ~2GB memory at boot, so your 16 should be fine.
Before I forget, their GNOME workstation distro: projectbluefin.io if you’re into that.
I recommend Aurora because I already use it, and think it’s cool. I’ve only ever used it on one machine, so if you go that route, I hope your experience is good, too. I like KDE, and Aurora is immutable so it’s harder to mess up critical components. Works for me.

I use Aurora daily on a second hand Ideapad with 8GB RAM and it’s great. Flawless, to be honest. It comes with lots of great little quality of life features here and there and it just works.
