Hmm... OK, not sure if this has to do with it, but it's only 8GB of memory? You can do better than that in 2020.
Pro: Your drive is a solid state drive (SSD) which should make your experience very fast. (Con: it's only 512GB)
Pro?: Your processor speed is 2.6 GHz .... I think that's alright?? (Con: you could do better than this in 2019/2020)
Pro: Your graphics card is probably OK? ? (Con?: @icmnfrsh says it's mid-high tier ... if that's right, then you can probably do better.)
Your laptop also looks very thin.... That can't be good for air flow. Your laptop might overheat, and slow down because of that. Computers need great air flow. Be sure to use it on a laptop pad and/or keep it off blankets/fabric. I'm no expert, and that might not be your cause, but I did a rudimentary Google search about thin laptops: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/9kmkve/thinner-and-lighter-laptops-have-screwed-us-all
I'm not an expert, but I do exclusively play my games on laptops... TS4 runs fine on high settings on my MSI laptop from 2015.
Again, I'm no expert, but I would advise you have your laptop looked at by a local computer shop, and see what you can upgrade. Or — if your laptop is under warranty — maybe tell ASUS support that your laptop is not running like it should? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's my 2¢.
