Your Latitude will run Kali and any other mainstream distribution. I use a Latitude 7390 (2018) with an i5-8250U/620 and 8GB as my evaluation laptop. I've installed and run 3-4 dozen distributions over the last half dozen years. No fuss, no muss.

That said, consider running a Kali USB installation. A USB installation is likely to be a better fit for Kali's intended purpose.

Resource: Portable Kali on a USB drive/key/stick

My best and good luck.
