Is the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E130 your one and only computer?  If and 
when the other memory socket goes bad, you will be in a tough situation. 
  It would be better to get a working computer now, install Debian, 
migrate your data, and then recycle the E130.


Used equipment is a much better value than new equipment.  I prefer 
computers with Xeon processors, integrated graphics, and ECC memory.


Rack mount servers can be found on eBay starting around US$100 (you 
provide the HDD/SSD and Debian):

Entry-level tower servers with Xeon E3 v5 processors and Intel 
integrated graphics start around US$200, and also work well as desktop 
machines (again, you provide the HDD/SSD and Debian):
