Hi
I found your email, and discussion elsewhere, whilst weeding items that
have accumulated over the past two years.
You mentioned a USB Wi-Fi adapter.
For laptop use, I might suggest:
* a minimum of 2 G memory (RAM) for installation and for infrequent
upgrades
* a minimum of *4 G for everyday use* of the installed system.
This assumes possible use of KDE Plasma and applications. Related:

document (the *Laptop Support and Usability

project).
Part of series of technical discussions about installation:
* bsdinstall: system requirements: memory/RAM: ZFS: 2048 MB for an
ordinary installation plus a desktop environment
