None of the free tiers are going to get you close to 8GB of memory, nor anything close to your laptop CPU-wise. AWS/Azure are the most generous with 1GB, and GCP is even less.
Your only option would be to sign up for a free trial account with Azure or GPC which will give you a few hundred dollars worth of credit to be used in the first month, then use that to spin up a "paid" system, making sure to keep the costs below the amount of free credit they have given you.
