I have just few video clips along with texts, pictures, and quite of few .mov files for lower thirds/title/intro/outro (quicktime/alpha).
just after that only, it starts lagging,
then if I apply few events like color correction/levels or magic bullet looks it gets even worse,
If I slow up any clip for slow motion, it starts lagging even more, It's been like a dream for me to preview a fully edited(graded) slomo clip smoothly.
For speed of rendering, many of the same tips I directed you to on your other thread for smooth preview can also have an effect. But you may simply be limited by your hardware.
Fast rendering on a laptop is a bit of an oxymoron. Make sure you have maxed out your memory amount on the laptop, install an SSD, and verify that your laptop CPU temperature is not running to hot.
A quality desktop with a good GPU, possibly the new Ryzen rig, would be the most cost effective/best way to improve render times.
