Since you are already used to Mint 13 KDE, there is no reason not to run it on your laptop as well. KDE is not as resource intensive as many would have you believe, and with your specs and a little fine tuning, you should be fine. I've happily run Mint KDE on machines with 1gb ram and atom processors.

Claudecat has a good point. try the one you are used to first.
If that doesnt work try Mint 13 Maya Xfce 32 bit version.
I have it on an EeePC 900 (900MHz Celeron) with 2Gb RAM upgrade and the original 16GB super slow SSD.
With windows XP this was a usesless machine because it was such a snail.
Now I use it to browse the web a lot with it.
