Have I overspecced my least powerful pc ever?

This laptop is for email, Internet browsing and possibly Zoom calls only. It will be running Firefox, Thunderbird, and document readers such as Acrobat reader and very little else. I've never bought a less performant pc but stuck with the i3 processor, although I went for 8GB RAM as I couldn't bear to go for only 4GB. Should I have gone for the ULTRANOTE VI S instead?
Thanks!
