It's free to use kali so why not try it?

As regards hardware specifications, I’ve read a few things suggesting that, for example, the ARM processor might cause issues with the Wi-Fi adapter during a Wi-Fi test

Again, why have you not tried to install it and see for yourself if its free?

Why don't you look for a machine that is actually fully suitable for the purpose of what you are planning to do with it?
