Hi!
Without clear specifications on the machine it is impossible to go any further.
It is like trying to find a needle in a needle stack!
Try to find what is written on the laptop: Manufacturer, the type.
As an example, yo can read at the left of my post and in the signature what my machines have:
Dell Precision T1700 (Desktop) and ASUS X200MA (netbook).
Based on that, I can find more details regarding the CPU, RAM and other details
Regarding the storage media I guess there is enough space for any Linux installation.
Just follow the guidelines I posted previously.
There is no need for a dedicated boot partition.
I could only figure out that the drive is somewhere at 240 - 256 GB which is enough space.
The swap partition is too large. If you have 2 GB of RAM, than 4 GB of SWAP is enough even for 4 GB of RAM. 17 GB, is too much and it will be a lot of wasted storage space.
Also, for the Linux partition 100 GB is way too much. You can increase if you want, the /home partition size. This partition holds a lot of user data so this is beneficial.
For the main partition (/, "Root"), stick to the 20 GB size, as I previously outlined. It usually requires somewhere between 7 GB and at most 16 GB so 20 is enough. You'll save 80 GB which you can use for a larger /home partition.
Good luck!
