Possibly this, but also lxde if you want a bit more graphical interface. If you have a really old computer try running puppy linux.

only use a DE on laptops, because you don't always have internet on a laptop
just use x11+wm and then install what you need as you need it

No, you're wrong yourself. In regards to memory usage, DWM has a smaller footprint than TWM. Not only that, but TWM uses Xlib. Any WM using XCB will have a smaller CPU usage.

If you're looking for small memory usage, DWM is one of the smallest out there. For CPU usage, i3 is one of the best.
