Could you use After Effects on these laptops without big problems (only for smaller projects, usually no more than 1min)

Clear. After effects is not such a free open source garbage. This was programmed by people who know what they are doing.

For After Effects it would still need Windows. Otherwise you would have to make friends with fusion. This also works under Linux.
Should work fine from the hardware specs. As already said, you have to do it on Windows, but that should not be a problem, a Windows license you get now for a Zwanni or something.
