After Effects is only as powerful as the hardware we run it on, but working at 1920-by-1080 should be fine - it just won't be fast compared to a higher end laptop. Working at 3840-by-2160 will require running Previews at Quarter resolution to work more quickly.

Continue with what you have. Wait to see if it's feeling too slow based on how you work and, if so, buget for an new, more powerful laptop. It's easy to get into the $3,500 to $5,500 range for faster performance.
