i have a lenovo y450 with even lower specs (core 2 duo, 2.0Ghz, 4GB RAM) running windows 8, and i've been using it in my regular gigs for the past 5 years. solid performer.
it has no problems using reloop/denon native ASIO drivers, but when routing through asio4all (when using programs like deckadance, which doesn't like native ASIO for some reason), i have to be careful and raise the latencies above the normal values. otherwise, i get the "popcorn" sounds and momentary lockups.
