Wow this is the most depressing comment section I’ve ever seen.

It mostly just depends on how you want your desktop to look. They have screenshots of each on their website. Since it sounds like you have a new laptop, power won’t be an issue for you. (If you were trying to run Mint on something with the power of a potato, a lighter DE would be a good idea.) Personally I love how Cinnamon looks and feels. It’s pretty simple, but also modern and customizable.
