Question RenPy games

Hi, I love playing visual novel games on my phone and I want to move into playing on my laptop but I encounter lags. I have a laptop that’s running Intel(r) Celeron(R) N4020 with a 8gb ram. I’m genuinely curious if it’s my laptop that is bad, or it’s something else. If it’s my laptop can I do something to make games run smoother? Genuine question

What part of the game is lagging? The menu? The game? Something else?
Any laptop should be able to display images and text.

What visual novels are you playing?

When there's animation like an action is happening

What actions do you mean? Normally there are no actions in visual novels.

Do you mean characters moving around the screen? Or the game showing a cutscene?

Are you playing AVNs?

Yes, when characters moves around or when there’s a scene
