You have a Thinkpad? As far as i have heard their linux compatibility is fairly good.
An yes, ubuntu won’t have more problems than windows with low power devices.
My old 4GB ram, 1.4GHz 4 core laptop ran linux mint fine.
Ps: linux mint is a ubuntu fork, and has a desktop interface that looks a lot like windows (example: in the bottom left there is the linux mint logo that you can click to open the start menu like on win 7).
