CPU Bottlenecking

[Idealbrute]

I just bought a Laptop with ryzen 5 and gtx 1650.

I tried running witcher 3 on it and the reading shows 100% Cpu usage and only 30% Gpu usage. This is clearly a bottleneck, so should i replace the laptop or not?

I would look into what's eating up all your cpu resources, make sure that the cpu is actually operating at full power performance for gaming, make sure that my laptop doesn't need new drivers/bios etc and doesn't require a removal of bloatware. A lot of laptops have a bunch of extra software that starts on boot, some of which have considerable cpu loads. Knowing which model of cpu would also help identify what the expected performance should be
