Should I be able to run this?

So I've noticed that with my older PC, PCSX2 runs a lot faster. But after upgrading to the latest version and purchasing a gaming laptop, it's very very sluggish.

Here are my PC specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz 2.40 GHZ
Installed memory (RAM): 6.00GB (5.89 usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 820M
Asus Touchscreen Laptop/tablet
Windows 8.1

This laptop runs recent games with ease, just not this apparently.

My PCSX2 settings:
GSdx 0 (MSVC 18.00, AVX2) 0.1.16 [gsdx32-avx2-r5875]
Renderer: Direct3D9 Hardware (software works the same, D9 and D11, no change.)
Native Checked. Texture Filtering, Logarithmic Z, Allow 8-Bit textures and Alpha correction all checked, nothing else checked.

Sound:
SPU2-X r5830 2.0.0 [spu2-x-r5875]
Interpolation: 0 - Nearest
Disable Effects Processing
Module: 1 - XAudio 2 (recomended) Synchronizing Mode Timestretch (Recommended)


Games Tried:
Xenosaga - slow intro video, sluggish movement.
Dot Hack GU Part 1 - Sluggish intro song.

With my now-defective laptop, with Xenosaga, the intro video was crisp, the movements were fluid, but there was an easily-fixable sound sync issue.

With Dot Hack, there were no problems, except minor videos being sluggish.

Are there any tips?

Your hardware is slow. I do not believe you play any modern games on it

The GPU is capable of below 30fps only on lowest settings at 1024 res for all the benchmarks I checked, the processor is also borderline. The gpu isn't too bad for PCSX, just lower the resolution but that CPU will struggle hard with certain games. Try speed hacks or upgrade

no, that CPU will handle most games fine and will only struggle on some demanding games like Sotc and R&C. you should probably use the latest stable version to get more fps compared to the latest development version. also, make sure to set your windows performance plan to high performance and play the game while plugged in.
