There is really no magic bullet to fix performance issues with slower hardware (well besides the buy newer [and faster] components)
Things you can do (if you have not already)
1. Make sure your laptop is in power mode - high performance not balanced or even worse battery saver
2. Make sure there is no power saving software running from the manufacturer.
3. Hope the laptop have no heat issues (besides not blocking vents and just having a good laptop with good cooling not much you can do here)
4. Basic performance based maintenance (run as few background programs and services as you can, driver updates, ect.)
Basically you are already under the recomended performance level for PCSX2 for most games and well below the recomemded level for demanding games, so you want to make sure you are not loosing any more performance. The rest will just be accepting that certain games will not play well on your laptop and you will have to rely on your original hardware to revisit those titles.

I have an acer aspire e 15 with windows 10. I don't know what specs are on it but i'm pretty sure that the graphics card I have is an Intel HD Graphics Card. Is that any good?

A bit weak for most games.
depends on the ones you own, actually.
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

Hi! I'd like to ask about pcsx2 performance in more or less outdated hardware. Around a year ago I assembled, using second hand pieces of hardware I'd been acquiring cheap at garage sales and second-hand shops, etc, a computer which I intended to dedicate entirely to emulation up to ps2, psp, nds, dreamcast and gamecube emulation.
The specs of such computer are: core 2 duo e7500, gtx 650 OC 2gb DDR5 and 4gb DDR2 800.
I have to say, with pcsx2 it has performed fairly well with several games (I've finished Tales of the Abyss and it ran full speed most of the time, apart from some slowdowns in certain places like Grand Chokma, Baticul, etc)
Now the thing is: a friend of mine offers me for a reasonably low price a tandem cpu/motherboard/ram which consists on the following:
Core i3 4130-T, Asus H81M-E and 8gb DDR3 1600.
Would these specs notably outperform my current rig? I've compared the Single Thread Rating (which I've read is what really matters when it comes to emulators) of both cpus and e7500 scores 1200 while i3 4130T scores around 1670.
Am I going to have a noticiable increase in performance with pcsx2 if I change to this new cpu?
Thank you very much.

It will be faster , plus the i3 has 4 threads which will boost performance even more with mtvu speedhack as well as rendering threads for software emulation (with avx2).
I'm taking into consideration that you will continue to use the same GPU.
