Please help me find the correct distro for my system

I have an old HP laptop with these specs:
i3-5050U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD
I want a lightweight linux disto/Window manager that is stable and noob friendly.
I am thinking of going with linux mint but I am confused about the Desktop environment/window manager.
Please HELP!
