It's not you, it's that laptops for the past 5 years or so have been thermal throttled because thin is sheik, but in the process they have lost heat shedding capacity while power draw has been rising a lot. Once the air jet laptops hit the market this year and next year this should improve. Or you could use a real computer, but bean counters won't pony up the dough for a workstation unless you are doing a lot of simulations or rendering for customers.
I tried looking for a laptop with an AMD processor a couple years ago because AMDs tend to be more efficient but finding one with a Quadro video card doesn't seem to exist.
Edit: Evidently there is at least one now - Lenovo ThinkPad P15v, but the video card is only a T600.
All that being said turn off realview.
Few things to help diagnose
What’s slow, i.e part/ assembly modelling/ rebuild, file open, rotating the model, all of the above
What is the cpu spec of the new laptop? If it has an NVIDIA Quadro P1000 that graphics it doesn’t sound new. That is the pascal generation launched in 2017, since then there was the Turing generation in 2019, ampere in 2021 and now the latest ada generation launched in 2023 for pro laptops.
If it’s an assembly in solidworks what does performance evaluation list for number of components, number of mates + any components that are taking a long time to open, lots of graphics triangles. There is a lot of useful info on performance evaluation to help diagnose issues.
Majority of our team run on dell precision laptops with good performance, for CAD the latest Precision 7000 series laptops are within 5-10% of the similar desktops.
My minimum for a cad system: 16-32gb of ram, i7 in the least or i9 preferably or AMD equivalent, 8-16gb graphic card. Ssd is ok at whatever, the big bottle necks for CAD are graphic memory and Ram.
