About the only hardware configuration that is in your control is to ensure the laptop is running dual channel memory, assuming it allows you to access the ram and it isn't soldered. Increasing ram bandwidth can help in performance. 

Gaming system: R7 7800X3D, Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB, Corsair Vengeance 2x 32GB 6000C30, RTX 4070, MSI MPG A850G, Fractal Design North, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Productivity system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, 64GB ram (mixed), RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, random 1080p + 720p displays.
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

Also what games are you even trying to run? It's an a9 so things like minecraft and older games are all it can really run decently.

Having Dual Channel RAM can help, but that's about as far as it goes for a laptop, nothing else would improve your gaming performance, though an SSD is a big upgrade for general responsiveness (not in gaming).
