what do you do with a laptop that has 4 GB ram and a HDD of the slower kind? xfce is not really more memory efficient than plasma.

4 gb is pretty reasonable for light usage. The hdd can be formatted as btrfs with compression for better performance. I'd also consider replacing the hdd with an ssd and using the hdd as extra storage, if possible.
